Psalm 68:4 (NKJV)
4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Extol Him who rides on the clouds,
By His name YAH,
And rejoice before Him.
Amen!

Some contend that Yahweh's Name should be contracted as "Yah" only when it's on the end of a word, and "Jeho/Yeho" when on the front. Really silly I know. As if Yahweh's Name changes!

But the quote is interesting, because יה is not on the end of a word, but on its own.

Those who contend this position of a changing Name are trusting in the vowel points of the Masoretic text, which puts the vowels from "Adonay" and "Elohiym" under Yahweh's Name to replace it in the text, just like how the Septuagint and KJV replace it with the words "the LORD" and "GOD" depending on the context.

"Jehovah" and its variants are completely false.

Btw, does the NKJV actually have "Yah"? That's a great improvement from "Jah"!

And you think that proves "Yahweh" is correct? Here ya go, I can find stuff on the internet too Genesis 1:1 (KJV) ... Genesis 1:1 (LXX)
Psa 68:4
Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Extol Him who rides on the clouds,
By His name YAH,
And rejoice before Him.

Isa 12:2
Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
‘For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.' ”

Isa 26:4
Trust in the LORD forever,
For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength.

Isa 38:11
I said,
“I shall not see YAH,
The LORD[fn] in the land of the living;
I shall observe man no more among the inhabitants of the world.

And considering there is NO letter J in Hebrew or Greek and it still isnt Jehovah is out the window too. YAH makes the most sense since many of the biblical people had YAH in their name.

Rolling my eyes...sure, when you mis-spell everything! So now it is "Yahusha"? I thought you guys used "Yahshua"? You really should make up your minds on which made up name you want to use...
again, none of you have proved anything through your mis-spellings...but you already know that, so keep pretending...

In Isaiah 50 alone, which is a short eleven verse chapter, there are three vowel point spellings for יהוה (Yahweh):

Isaiah 50:1
יְהוָה
Isaiah 50:4
יְהֹוִה
Isaiah 50:5
יְהוִה

Yahweh's Name doesn't just change from one verse to another. The reason there are different spellings is because the Masoretes were replacing His Name based off of context, just like the KJV does:

Isaiah 50:1
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה
"Thus saith the LORD"​

Isaiah 50:4
אֲדֹנָי יְהֹוִה
"The Lord GOD"​

Isaiah 50:5
אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה
"The Lord GOD"​

The vowel points do not give an accurate rendering of Yahweh's Name. They are only there as a reminder of what to replace it with:

יְהוָה and יְהֹוָה resemble אֲדֹנָי (Lord)

and

יְהוִה and יְהֹוִה resemble אֱלֹהִים (God)

Notice how similar the vowel points are.

When it comes to the Name being prefixed or affixed to a Name, the vowel points are again, completely unreliable as to how to pronounce Yahweh's Name.

The Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon deduces the vowel points for Yahweh's Name, by comparing wherever it is found in the text, whether in contraction or not, or whether in a Name or separate:

Yahweh1.png

(turning the page):
Yahweh2.png


You can see how they even compare the Name when it has a preposition with אֲדֹנָי (Lord) and אֱלֹהִים (God) when they have prepositions, how the vowel point on the yod is no longer written.

Here is the spelling that they give of the Name:

יַהְוֶה

Yah.png


הללו־יה, αλληλουια, Praise Yah, Praise Yahweh!

Here is the 1611 KJV
4Sing vnto God, sing praises to his Name: extoll him that rideth vpon the heauens, by his Name Iah, and reioyce before him.

-Notice how it says Iah and not Ieh, so if Y transliterated I, that would be Yah.

Im not a scared name nutcase, so im not going to argue this with you, simply stating my points of view, Gods name is YAHWEH, NOT YEHWEH.

If all those examples showed YAH in the name, the Yahusha should make the most sense.

Nope. Just because it makes sense to you does not make it a fact. I asked you to show me the name "yahushua", you have not done so. I never said The Name was Yehweh.

Does God care that I call Him Yahweh, God, Lord, Father or any of the dozens of names given to Him in scripture? Does Jesus care if I call Him Jesus, Yeshua, Messiah, Prince of Peace, Lord, etc?

Why do people get so caught up in these name games?? Seems like a huge distraction to me...

I LIKE ALL OF GOD'S OT NAMES / TITLES:

These are the NAMES/TITLES of "GOD" mainly in the OT of the Bible which refect His "meaning" and nature.

A. Jehovah = ~YHWH = ~" I AM WHO I AM " = "I AM" = ~LORD = ~GOD = Self Existent
(e.g. Exodus 3:14; John 8:58; Hebrews 1:8)

B. Elohim = plural name: majestic and strong = (e.g. Genesis 1:26...Then God said,
"Let US make man in OUR image, in OUR likeness..."

C. Adonai = ~LORD (all caps) = ~Master =
(e.g. Gen 2:4 ...the LORD God made the earth and the heavens;
John 13:13 "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am.
Matthew 22:44 " 'The LORD said to my Lord:
"Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."

D. "El" = ~GOD = Compound names, showing characteristics

1. El Elyon = most high = strongest
2. El Roi = strong see-er
3. El Shaddai = Almighty God
4. El Olam = Everlasting God

E. "Jehovah (J.) " = ~GOD = Compound names, showing characteristics

1. J. Jireh = LORD will provide
2. J. Nissi = LORD my banner
3. J. Shalom = LORD is peace
4. J. Sabbaoth = LORD of hosts
5. J. Maccaddeshcem = LORD your sanctifier
6. J. Raah = LORD my shepherd
7. J. Tsidkenu = LORD our righteousness
8. J. El Gmolah = LORD GOD of recompense
9. J. Nakeh = LORD who smites
10. J. Shammah = LORD who is present

Here is "GOD" of the Bible and spirit-led writings
which refect His "meaning" and nature and SPIRITUAL essence and character and attributes.

1. Existent (Spirit Being)
2. Unified (not in different parts)
3. Simple...Holy...Righteous...perfectly Good...pure
4. Infinite (no Beginning, no End)
5. Eternal (beyond limits of time and space)
6. Unchanging and unchangeable CHARACTER (immutable)
7. All Present (spiritually everywhere and available)...omnipresent
8. All Sovereign (rules over/in complete control of {as He directs all things vs. all}
9. All Knowing (Omniscience...perfect wisdom)
10.All powerful (Omnipotence...God Almighty)
11.Perfectly JUST (fairness in His JUDGMENT of ALL SPIRITS)
12.Perfectly LOVING / Merciful (God IS Love;undeserved help for the afflicted)
13.Perfectly TRUE / Truthful (always truth-telling, inerrant)
14.Perfectly FREE (from sin and unrestricted power
15.Perfectly Separate (to mark off from others by boundaries)

By spiritually discerning Scripture, three spiritual Persons...a TRI-UNE GOD... were revealed.
Each had different NAMES, titles, roles, ranks, functions, etc.
Yet there was ONE "GOD" unified in spiritual essence, nature, and pre-existence.
They became known by the early "church" fathers and through spirit-led revelation as:
1. God the Father: associated with NAMES above, Creative Father, Loving Father, "our Father"
2. God the Holy Spirit: named the Spirit of Truth, enpowering and dwelling with the spirit of Man
3. God the Son: Jesus of Nazareth, Divine Messiah, THE Christ, Son of God, Son of Man, ETC
with a DUAL NATURE:
1. True perfect and sinless Man / New Adam...flesh of Man
2. True Diety sent down from heaven to save Man.
