Does Yehovah Mean Lord of Destruction?

10-40 Admin — Thu, 15 Dec 2022 00:41:07 +0000

original article: http://seekingtruth.info/blog/does-yehovah-mean-lord-of-destruction/

Some people are objecting to the pronunciation of Yehovah because they claim it means something like “Lord of Destruction”. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

This ignorant theory comes from two baseless assumptions. 1 – that “Yeh” or “Yah” means “Lord” or “God” and 2 – that “hovah” in Hebrew can only mean destruction.

Let’s first deal with assumption #1 – the meaning of “Yeh” or “Yah”

Yah (יהּ) appears in 43 verses in the Tanakh: 2 verses in Exodus, 3 verses in Isaiah, 37 verses in Psalms and 1 verse in Song of Solomon. References are listed at the end of this post. Yah (יהּ) is a contracted form of יהוה – just like John is a contracted form of Jonathan. When we read Yah, the writer intends us to think of יהוה – His personal Name. So Yah does not mean “god” it means יהוה.

Where names in Hebrew take the form “God of” they begin or end with “El”, for example Eliezer which means “God is help” or Israel which means “God prevails”. There are many examples to show that incorporating the term “God” into a name uses “El” and not “Yah”.

But what about “Lord”? Where the term Lord is incorporated into names it uses “Adon” as in Adoni-Bezek, “my lord is Besek” or Adoniyah, “my lord is Yehovah”. Here in Adoniyah we see a direct use of “Yah” referring to Yehovah and not to a title like God or Lord.

So clearly there is no linguistic or textual support for claiming that Yah means “lord” or “god”.

So what of the second assumption, that “hovah” means destruction and only destruction?

It is true that the NOUN hôvâh (הוה) means ruin or disaster, however hovah is also a VERB which means “is” as in present tense being.

When יהוה spoke to Moshe in Exodus 3; He prefaced the declaration of His Name with a very important concept – אהיה אשׁר אהיה – which literally means “I will be who I will be” or, for a more nuanced translation, “I am now and I will continue to be in the future”. He then declares His Name by which He is to be remembered/mentioned for all generations – יהוה. The root of יהוה is the verb היה Hayah/Ehyeh, which means “to be”. The past, present and future forms of hayah which make up the Father’s Name are Hayah, Hoveh & Yiheyeh, meaning “He was, He is, He will be”. Yehovah’s very name speaks to His eternal nature.

The root of “hovah” is הוה – which is a noun – a static thing, no action – and and does not have the same letters as the root for “hayah”. That there is a noun “hovah” has no relationship to the Father’s name when His Name is clearly based on the verb “Hayah/Ehyeh”.

Verses which use Yah, the poetic form of Yehovah, in the Tanakh (Young’s Literal Translation with J corrected to Y):

Exodus 15:2 My strength and song is Yah, And He is become my salvation: This [is] my God, and I glorify Him; God of my father, and I exalt Him.

YHWH- Yehovah and Jesus – Yeshua

Torah for Every Culture

Hebrew name for YHWH/ LORD and Jesus

This is truly a very deep and rich discussion. One that cannot be expressed in a simple article. What I have done is compile a few of the teachings that have helped me to come to the understanding that I have now. There are more than what you see here; I encourage you to study for yourself. I pray that this gives you a good start.

God’s true name is YHWH and is pronounced Yehovah and Jesus name in Hebrew is Yeshua or Yehoshua. For many centuries God’s name has been hidden from humanity. You can begin first by understanding that your typical Bible has hidden the word YHWH with LORD from the world. You can read this article that will give you clarity. We have reposted this article on our website here.

How did I come to my decision about who to believe?

This is a very important issue understanding the name of YHWH. If you can’t speak, read, write Biblical Hebrew, for me, you can’t gain my trust that you understand what you are talking about when it comes to cutting through all the opinions. Of course it’s not enough to understand Hebrew but being a linguist, researcher and/or scholar on Biblical Hebrew is also a good start. So I looked for people who met the standards above AND could show me their work. And then I looked to see if others in their “world” referenced their work.

Here are a few major points that confirmed it for me. These are summaries of what I gained from the sources I listed in the table below.

The Masoretic text is the most widely respected and agreed upon Hebrew/English translation of the Bible. Strongs is the most respected concordance When you look up the Strongs concordance for H3068 LORD it says Yehovah. Why trust it for everything else but not trust it for Yehovah?
New documents and new scholars have appeared on the scene (around the early 2000) that could show the tetragrammaton with the consonants AND the full vowels. These visuals had been missing from “public” for centuries. Hebrew grammar rules are that 4 consonants YHWH must have three (3) vowels not two(2)
Based on Hebrew grammar God’s name at the beginning is “Yeho” – Yehovah but at the end it’s Yah – Hallelu Yah. This also follows where the accent/stress is on the syllable of the words pronunciation
3 parts to YHWH – past present & future . Yehovah demonstrates that better than Yahweh. Direct quote from Seeking Truth
“The root of יהוה is the verb היה Hayah/Ehyeh, which means “to be”. The past, present and future forms of hayah which make up the Father’s Name are Hayah, Hoveh & Yiheyeh, meaning “He was, He is, He will be”. Yehovah’s very name speaks to His eternal nature.”
All the Hebrew teachers that I have listened to (who will say the name) have said Yehovah. And I respect those who have previously went all in for Yahweh and now in light of new findings of ancient Hebrew documents have agreed it’s Yehovah. These “new” findings started appearing in the early 2000’s.

Video for Yahweh HERE

This video is well presented. They are NOT in agreement with Yehovah and think it’s the least likely option. It is very beneficial to watch.

I HIGHLY recommend reading this book	Shattering the Conspiracy of Silence	Book
This article discusses how the Rabbi’s hid the name. Then gets into a VERY detailed explanation of root words and how they changed through time. This is a long read.	My Name Forever By Michael McHugh	Article
Don’t be fooled by the name. The video discusses how Yahweh came to be used but it is not the correct pronunciations. Within Hebrew communities it’s no doubt that it is Yehovah but some Samaritans (who are Jews) used Yahweh.	Nehemia’s Wall – Origins of Yahweh	Video
In this episode of Hebrew Voices, Why it’s Yehovah, but HalleluYAh, I explain why the vowel in “Yehovah” changes in “Yah” and why people who don’t understand this Hebrew rule are pronouncing Yeshua’s name wrong.	Hebrew Voices #106 – Why it’s Yehovah, but HalleluYAh	Video /Article
6min video that visual show the past, present and future within the name Yehovah	Nehemia Gordon	Video
Many articles about YHWH but this one discusses the vowels for Adonai and Yehovah – with pictures.	Seeking Truth	Article

Jesus name in Hebrew is Yeshua or Yehoshua

The name “Jesus” has a long, long history. The origin of this name is the Hebrew name יהושע (yehoshu’a, Strong’s #3091 [Latinized as Joshua]), which means “Yahweh saves.” This Hebrew name is first used Exodus 17:9 where we are introduced to Yehoshu’a Ben Nun.	Where did the name “Jesus” come from? By Jeff Benner	Video
Interesting video; it lays foundation for Yehovah as well as at the end getting to Yeshua meaning Yehovah’s salvation	Hebrew Luke and John found in Vatican Junk Box – Nehemia’s Wall	Video

If you desire to do a deep study on Yehovah – Nehemia Gordon has a wealth of information and teachings on his page. (FYI, We have no financial engagement with him or his material.)I also recommend reading this book

The name of God discovered in over 227 manuscripts!

10-40 Admin — Wed, 17 Aug 2022 01:28:00 +0000

As of today, we have over 227 early Hebrew manuscripts with the full vowels for the name of God – YeHoVaH (YHVH). The name of God is mentioned 6,827 times in the Hebrew Bible. It is mentioned more than Lord, God, or El Shaddai. But why is His name now revealed? Why has access to these manuscripts now available? And, what does that mean for the end times and this generation? (Episode 3)

Michael Rood welcomes Nehemia Gordon. Nehemia is a scholar from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has worked as a translator on the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a researcher deciphering ancient Hebrew manuscripts. His discovery of the name of God with the vowel points has provided the world the true name of God – Yehovah.
