What is the TRUE pronunciation of the main name of God?
Let me remind you:
God does NOT allow us to use His name in vain. It is a sin.
We can use His name only for educational purposes.
Moreover, He knows our supplications and prayers even BEFORE we would utter them.
And I believe that we should not pronounce His name because actually NO ONE knows today HOW it should be pronounced correctly.
Many people think that God has led them to a particular pronunciation for His Name.
Here is my request: Could you please tell me how He wants you to relate to those brethren, who received a different pronunciation than you? LOL Does God have so many variations of His HOLY name? LOL
The God of Israel has DEFINITE names in HEBREW which could NOT be changed and should NOT be changed by any pronunciation!
Guys, let me illustrate you WHY this issue of pronunciation of God's names is VERY important:
Read my comment in the post: " Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?"
Which translation did this man use in English for 1Cor 15?
HOW does he dare to put this word "Yahweh" there?!
A WARNING of the SON of GOD:
A Warning!
18 For I (JESUS) testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone ADDS to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.Rev 22
When I speak in English I use the name Jesus for the Son of God because this name is used in your language and all people understand that I speak about Jesus. Even Jesus knows that.
When I speak in Arabic I can call Him by two names as it is written in Arabic Bible and the Quran: Yassua and "Isa.
Why do I use these names for the Son of God? Because I impact Arabs and they understand that I use the NAME of Jesus TRANSLATED into their native language. This is just a TRANSLATION. And they accept this translation.
I use translation of the name of Jesus in your English language because I speak in English. And it is quite REASONABLE. Just imagine me speaking in English using Arabic translation of His names!
So, if you would address to Jesus using FAKE words which are NOT His names in Hebrew then I would say that your call ANOTHER Jesus! He will think so too if you are a cult member.
That is why the God of Israel does NOT accept prayers of Muslims which are directed to other god called by OTHER names which are NOT in the Bible.
That is why the God of Israel does NOT accept prayers of people which are directed to other gods called by OTHER names which are NOT in the Bible.
His NAME is UNIQUE and Jews do NOT prononce it.
I am a Jew and I CALL my God like my fathers in Israel.
I REJECT any "unauthrized" translation of His name like my fathers and brothers Jews do it in Israel.
Why? To avoid being a cult member or an idol worshiper of a god who does NOT have the HOLY names of the God of Israel.
That is my point.

So, guys, what is the TRUE name of the God of Israel?
Exodus 3:14
The Father's true name is Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh taken from the original Hebrew scriptures. It is His name in the first person.
The name of the God of Israel is Ehyeh.
The Father's name is not "Yah". Yahweh / YHWH - are in the 3rd person and address Him as Lord - which is a title - not His personal, 1st person name.
But we still do NOT know the proper pronunciation of the word "YHWH" (may be in the 3rd person)!
Yes, the word could mean "Lord" in the 3rd person!
Hosea 1:7:
"Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword or battle, by horses or horsemen."
The Speaker is Elohim who says He will have mercy on the house of Judah and will save them by YHVH, their Elohim.
Another prophecy (Zechariah 2:8-9):
"For thus says the LORD (YHVH) of hosts: "He sent Me (the Son of God) after glory, to the nations which plunder you (Jews); for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts (YHVH) has sent Me."
In the verse above we have one YHVH is sending another YHVH to perform a specific task: to DEFEND Jews during the Third World War soon when Muslim states and Iran will attack Israel. We know who is this God. We call Him �the Son of God�.
"The Father's name is not "Yah". Yahweh / YHWH - are in the 3rd person and address Him as Lord - which is a title - not His personal, 1st person name."
The word YHVH is another name of the God of Israel and this is 1st person name and we do NOT know how to pronounce it properly.
I also agree that the word "YHVH" could theoretically be a hif'il (causative) verb inflection of root HWH, with a meaning something like "he who causes to exist" or "who gives life" because in this case it would be like in Arabic language...
We all should research the issue and NEVER accept whatever name someone wishes to declare that God has had "revealed" to them.
Why? Because God does NOT give us any revelations anymore. Everything is REVEALED already by God to the prophets of the Bible. Everything is SAID already and God does NOT give any "new' revelations! He does NOT talk to us in audible voices as to Moses. If you hear "his" voice then you need to be treated in a mad house!
If you want to know what God said then STUDY and analyze the Bible and ask God to explain it.
So how God explains/talks to us today if He does NOT speak to us audibly? He speaks through His words in the Bible and Christians/believers and circumstances. And all His "words" comply with the HOLY Bible. If something is contrary to His words in the Bible then it is NOT true.
Yesterday I was meditating on how God created the universe and DNA and suddenly heard in one of programs on TV the same thoughts which I have and they were already uttered in Kabbalah. How is it possible? How is it possible that my ideas are shared by Kabbalah?The truth is only one and it could be known and shared by many....
The first appearance of the word �YHVH�was in the HOLY Torah Gen 2:4.
Howis it possible that the word occurs 6,828 times and today we do not know how to utter it?
And HOW to be sure that the name is just one of the names of the God of Israel (meaning most probably "he who causes to exist" or "who gives life")?
God gave us this name in the Torah. But who did write the Torah? God or Moses? How Moses could know the genealogy of his forefather Noah and such historical facts listed in the Torah 500 hundreds years before the birth of Abraham? Of course it was impossible for Moses to know it and the records were made by a Supreme Being and given to Moses. These records show that the God of Israel was called YHVH (Gen 2:4). Thus if God GAVE us the Torah (Note: According to rabbinic tradition, all of the teachings found in the Torah were given by God to Moses, some of them at Mount Sinai and others at the Tabernacle).
God also said to Moses,"Say to the Israelites, 'The LORD (YHVH), the God of your fathers--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob--has sent me to you.'"This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation. Exodus 3:15
I think if we would utterthe word �YHVH� as it first occurred inthe Hebrew Bible (without influence other words) according to the most commonset of vowels used in the Masoretic text of the Torah, then God would not mind if we would do it: יְהוָה (Yǝhwāh).
The Tanakh: 15. And God said further to Moses, "So shall you say to the children of Israel, 'The Lord (YHVH) God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is My name forever, and this is how I should be mentioned in every generation.
יְהֹוָה
Yǝhwāh (see Hebrew pronunciation here: www.omniglot.com/writing/hebrew.htm.
But anyway, we know many other names of God to address to Him (without �Chinese accent� LOL) and we even know that BEFORE we utter the words, He already KNOWS what we say.
Note: How similar are now pronounciations: Ehyeh- Yǝhwāh.
Now I need somebody who speaks in Hebrew to see pronounciation of words in a hif'il (causative) verb inflection of root HWH, with a meaning something like "he who causes to exist" or "who gives life".
And to see other similar examples to know pronounciation of the first letter of such words.
Should it be (a) or (e). And then I would compare it with another semitic language-Arabic-- which is in fact a dialect of Hebrew.
This Forum didnt allow me to publish here transcription.
It is like:
Yehwah
Note: How similar are now pronounciations: Ehyeh- Yehwah.
Check pronunciation of the verse above in the Tanakh and then as it is shown in the link above to know HOW to pronounce the word YHVH from the Tanakh (the verse is shown above).
