TETRAGRAMMATON YHWH HOW IT IS PRONOUNCED?

Scholars stressed that the Set Apart Name of Almighty is transliterated as YHWH. In the modern Israeli script it is written as . In Paleo Hebrew where the Old Testament was written is HwhY . Paleo Hebrew evolved about 1200 BCE. This is evident in the Moabite Stone inscription on 850 BCE which is now in Louvre, Paris Museum, look the picture above left. This four letters or Tetragrammaton is used in the Scripture Hebrew Manuscripts over 6,800 times but because most common people are likely dont have any access to older language of Hebrew and relied purely on translations they could not see it. Meanwhile, those original manuscripts were already available through interlinear. However, taken into consideration that Bible Translators were not so fair enough to retain the Set Apart Name of Almighty they tampered it with the indistinct generic pagan title LORD It comes from the historic translation of Baal. The term LORD is not even a name, it was simply a term addressed to a monarch or landowners in Europe over a millennium ago. It came from an Old English word HALAFWERD Halaf=loaf/bread plus Werd=guardian meaning Guardian of the Bread. Therefore whenever you read the term LORD in your 33% accurate Bible translations it is really meant the tampered Set Apart Name of Almighty spelled in Hebrew as Yod, Hey, Waw, Hey or it was best transliterated YHWH as Scripture shows. The only question that is to be rightly addressed today is what is the right pronunciation of YHWH? Prior to the conquest of Canaan, the Name of Almighty is audibly called upon by the people of Almighty (Beresheeth [Genesis] 12:8); (Shemoth [Exodus] 3:14, 15) because His Name is forever and is a sign or a memorial to all generation. Names should not be changed from one language to another. Names are transliterated through assonance but not translated; it is only through this rule the right pronunciation of names is preserved. In the Old Testament time, the true prophets of Almighty incessantly fought against apostate priests, scribes, prophets and rabbis (Hoshea [Hosea] 2:16-17; Amas [Amos] 6:10; (Yirmeyah [Jeremiah] 23:26-27) who initiated not to mention the Set Apart name of the Almighty. During the Babylonian captivity 606 - 536 BCE, the people of Israel taken into captivity because they forgot the Name of Almighty due to prohibition of false prophets but

Yirmeyahu [Jeremiah] did not compromise to those false prophets who were the author of lies and superstitions by forbidding the people to mention the Name of Almighty. (Yirmeyah [Jeremiah] 23:26-27, HTHS*) 26 How long shall this be in the heart of the
prophets that prophesy lies? Yes, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; 27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name3 by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their ahvot (fathers) have forgotten my name for Baal. Emphasis Added. This

superstition and manmade tradition was handed down to the Pharisees who are anti-Messiah (note not all Pharisees are antiMessiah) from 166 BCE until the incarnation and manifestation of YAHUSHUA. Even after the Messiahs resurrection those rulers of Israel who are anti-Messiah forbade the true Talmidim [Disciples] to teach or preach the Name of Almighty (Maaseh Ha Shlekhim [Acts] 4:16-18; 5:28*).Then later on adapted by the Masorites in 600 CE through the invention of vowel marks. There are three known pronunciations for the Set Apart Name of Almighty; first is JEHOVAH, second is YAHWEH and the third is YAHUWAH. Now, let us try to examine all of these which of them is true and for you to decide. FIRST that we have to examine is the JEHOVAH. In fairness to those who advocate that JEHOVAH is the pronunciation of (YHWH - hwhY ) we beg to disagree because in the four Scripts of Hebrew language; Hebrew Hieroglyphs, Ancient Hebrew, Paleo Hebrew and in the Modern Israeli there is no such thing as letter J in their Aleph Bet (Alphabet). The letter J was only introduced in 1066 CE in England after the Norman Conquest but not generally accepted until the 16th century. Proof of this is the 1611 King James Bible that bears the name IAMES for James, Jesus was Iesus back then, see our pamphlet The Origin of the Name Jesus . The term Jehovah was first pronounced in this manner when vowel letter points were placed with the letters of the Tetragrammaton YHVH in the Massoretic text. This text is claimed to have been vowel-marked by Rabbi Ben Asher sometime around the eighth century CE. The name Jehovah is first found in a manuscript of Martini's Pugio Fidei- 1278CE, and in Galatinus-1518 who wrote an argument against abbreviating it to Jova because this would expose the name as being that of the Latin Jovis for Jupiter. Therefore from the very outset of the JEHOVAH pronunciation, it can be indubitably averred that it is a product of wild imagination of Greek and Latin Scholars. I rather advice those who fanatically and erroneously assert to this pronunciation of the Set Apart Name of the Almighty to consult the Hebrew Language or a Hebrew Lexicon if there is letter J in Hebrew Alphabet. The Hebrew word Hovah (H1942 and H1943) literally means ruin, mischief, and destruction. So Jehovah or Ya hovah literally means Yah who causes destruction. What!? Do you serve the destroyer? Of course not! Hes name is not Jehovah. SECOND that we have to examine is the YAHWEH. Remember that the tetragram Name of Almighty is composed of four Hebrew letters; the Yod, the Hey, the Waw and Hey (YHWH). It

Torah of HWHy is with us? But look, the pen of the scribe, which works falsehood. Thirdly is that, it was the Roman Catholic

Fathers/Scholars who asserted the pronunciation YAHWEH. By Origen 250 CE and Theodoret 400 CE (Roman Catholic Church Fathers), Here is a quotation from The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia,
published in New York in 1941, volume 5, page 6, article GOD (ALMIGHTY YAHUWAH), NAMES OF: The Tetragrammaton or Four-Lettered Name (YHWH), which occurs 6,823 times, is by far the most frequent name of God (ALMIGHTY YAHUWAH) in the Bible. It is now pronounced Adonai; but the [Catholic] church father Theodoret records that THE SAMARITANS pronounced it as Iabe adonai, both pointing to an original vocalization yahveh.

Emphasis added in parenthesis and bracket. These Roman Catholic Church Fathers quoted the Samaritans but look, the Mashiach our Savior did even rebuked the Samaritans for not knowing whom they worship. (John 4:22) Ye worship ye know
not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the YAHUWDIM (Judahites not Jews). By Gilbertus Genebrardus 1550 - 1567 CE (Catholic Benedictine), Chronographia, Paris, 1567. He guessed the name "Iahve, Jahve" for YAHWEH from the

is obvious that this tetragamaton should have been in three syllables, and it can be seen that there is no vowel between the first Hey and Waw (YaH-WeH). I am pretty much convinced that the YAH in YAHWEH is correct because it is the short form of the Set Apart Name of Almighty (Tehillim[Psalms] 68:4; 102:18; 104:35; 112:1; 113:1; 115:18; 116:19; 135:1, 3, 21; 146:10; 147:20; 148:1, 14; 149:1, 9; 150:1). You can confirm this by looking into your Hebrew Interlinear or you can consult Strong Hebrew Dictionary #H3050. However, I beg to disagree on the WEH of YAHWEH for quite some reasons. Firstly is that letter Hey is pronounced as AH sounds when it is in the middle and at the end of a word but it is pronounced as Ha when it is at the beginning of a Hebrew word which constitute as a definite article as in English article the; example is HAYAH [the self-existed one] or HA- Mashiach [the Messiah] another is the name SHARAH (Sarah), the letter Hey is at the end and many more. Secondly one of the Hebrew rules is that there should be a vowel between two consonant letters (Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible by Jeff Benner on PDF Page 43), nevertheless, scholars of YAH-WEH pronunciation fails to place or convey the right vowel between the first consonant Hey and Waw of the tetragrammaton. Because it was a product of the Masorites in that vowels had been removed or altered from Hebrew words and changed it with a nikkud it is now known as vowel marks thus, readers are misled. The Masorites reworked the Hebrew language by the Tiberians, between the 6th to 12th centuries C.E. The Tetragrammaton was changed by the Masorites to YHVH from YHWH to confuse the real name. The Masorites were responsible for so many alterations of Hebrew words in the TANAK. Well, did not the Scripture and the Savior Himself warned that no one should add or diminish the Word of Almighty (Debarim [Deuteronomy] 12:32; Gilyahna [Revelation] 22:18-19) otherwise their names will be blotted out from the Lambs Book of Life. The prophet Yirmeyahu also prophesied that the pen of Scribes will write falsely (Yirmeyah [Jeremiah] 8:8), How do you say, We are wise, and the

tetragrammaton YHWH. There an attempt to reconcile these names of pagan gods (mighty ones) with the Tetragrammaton. Genebrardus invented this new guess name got it from Origen, Theodoret and
early Catholic Church Fathers, the Greek spelling IAOVE (is equivalent to Greek Zeus-DIOS [Acts 14:12-13 in the facsimile of Codex Leningrad from ISA and in the Latin Vulgate]), which is universally known as JOVE (Roman Jupiter), and converted JAOVE to YAOVE adding the H and dropping the O, hence YAHVE! Yahve then is none other than Zeus [DIOS] or Jupiter [YAHWEH]! Therefore, in fairness to those who advocate and erroneously or ignorantly asserting the YAHWEH pronunciation for the four letter Name of the Almighty (YHWH - hwhy) was a guess product of Roman Catholic so-called Scholars which is bereft of truth from the Scripture. There is also an existing phonetic of the set-apart name which is YEHWEH; this derived from the transliteration of the HEBREW hwhy YHWH into Greek IEUE. It is only the transliteration but does not necessary the phonetic. Next that we have to study and to confirm is YAHUWAH. Since we have negated the JEHOVAH and the YAHWEH-YEHWEH with a preponderance of evidence historically and scripturally, we would like also to present with sufficient proofs as to why the Tetragrammaton is YAHUWAH. Fore mostly it is next to impossible to have crash course in Hebrew and Greek for what has been time of study. Hebrew reads from Right to Left with 22 letters in its Aleph Bet (Alphabet) and 13 vowel forms called nikuddot which were added later by the Masorites in 600 CE. Hebrew being the set apart pure language that we are to return to according to prophecies in the Scripture. For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of HWHy, to serve him with one consent. (Tzephaniyahu [Zephaniah] 3:9)* Clement of Alexandria 200 CE (AY) supports the Hebrew form YAHU the name of the Son. He transcribed the Greek IAOU. The Codex Laurentianus V 3, is one of the oldest evidence in existence of "Iaou" which is an eleventh century manuscript of Stromata Book V. Chapter 6, that preserves the actual Greek spelling "Iaou" that Clement of Alexandria actually wrote. THIRD, that we have to study is the name YAHUWAH, the name above all names. First: 1. 100 prophets names carry YAHU. None carry Jehov or YahweYehwe in Paleo Hebrew. e.g. Isaiah was YashaYAHU; Jeremiah was actually YermeYAHU. In fact John is YAHUchanan and Matthew is MatithYAHU. 2. HAleluYAH (praise be to YAH) is the oldest and only spoken phrase which has never been mispronounced in over 5000 years! It carries all the letters-sounds of YAHUWAH. It is never HalelevJeho or Helelewe-Yeh. There is no J, V or weh. 3. 177 Scriptural names carry YAHU. None carry Jehov or Yahwe. e.g. Hananiah is actually ChananYAHU, Josaphat is YAHUshaphat. Derivatives of the Name of The Almighty should be found in the Word within the names of His people. All Hebrew names have meaning and often picture the works, deliverance, and wonders of the Eternal One.

YHWH Your POWER in oaths falsely; YHWH will not hold him guiltless who takes his name and falsifies it or empties it by replacing it with another name.

The Name of YAHUWAH must be audibly mentioned in order for the Israelites to be blessed (WeDabar [Numbers] 6:22-27) 22 And
YHWH spoke to Musa, saying, 23 Speak to Aharon and to his sons, saying, On this wise you shall say the Increase on the children of Ysrael, saying to them, 24 YHWH Increase you, and Guard you: 25 YHWH make his face to be glorified upon you, and be merciful to you: 26 YHWH lift up his countenance upon you, and give you shalom. 27 And they shall put my name1 upon the children of Ysrael; and I will Increase them. YAHUWAH our Savior and creator

appeared to Musa [Moses] in a burning bush and Introduced His Name. (Shemoth [Exodus] 3:14-15).* In this Passage YAHUWAH said that His Name hwhy is forever and a memorial to all generations. The Hebrew word for the term forever is Owlam which means eternal and the word memorial is Zaker in hwhy Hebrew which means a sign, mark or covenant. It is categorically indispensable to set aside the Name of the Almighty which is YAHUWAH for it is eternal thus, it is explicit to assert that He does not change because His name does not change; His name is an eternal mark of His people (Gilyahna [Revelation] 3:12; 22:34).Musa [Moses] was also instructed by YAHUWAH that His Name should be proclaimed, declared, preached throughout the earth. (Shemoth [Exodus] 9:16 HTHS*) And indeed for this purpose I have
raised youv up, that I may show My power in you; and that My Name may be declared in all the earth. Of course one cannot do proclaim the Shem

5. The tribe of YAHUWDAH (the Door is YAHUWAH) is spelled hdwhy(YHWDH). Pull out the dallet d or d and you get YAHUWAH{the name of the Almighty} not Yahweh.) 6. YAHUdaia means the land of the YAHUDAH. It is neverJehovdaia or Yahwehdaia. The pure evidence is overwhelming for YAHUWAH being irrefutably His Restored Original Name. Second: The Masorites asserted that the vowel of Adonaiya (Adonai) be the vowel for the tetragramaton YHWH. The Adonaiya vowel has A-O-A pattern, indeed a very close to YAHUWAH (since letter Waw has an OO, UW sound in Paleo Hebrew [The False Name and Mystery Babylon]) but neither close to JEHOVAH nor to YAHWEH. Third: Since the TANAK or the Old Testament Scripture was written in Paleo Hebrew and it has also vowel pattern. This might be the reason the Masorites borrowed the vowel of Adonaiya, and also because OO was the sound derivative from Hebrew letter Waw. Actually in Paleo, the letter Yod, Hey and Waw has a consonant-vowel function. In his book The False Name & Mystery Babylon Dave Ray explained that in Abrauw [Paleo Hebrew] the common vowel pattern is A-U-A. Note on the W/uw: The "Waw" of the Set Apart Name of the Almighty in Paleo-Hebrew and Ancient-Hebrew is pronounced as "uW", it is not just a simple "v" or "w" sound. .... rhymes with "wuu (ibid). Conclusion: It is imperatively conclusive in the Ten Commandments of YAHUWAH that His Name should be taken into great reverence and honor and not to be treated as unimportant (Shemoth [Exodus] 20:7 HTHS*)." You shall not speak the name of

Ha Qadosh (Set apart Name) if it is not audible and pronounceable. A Millennia have past and even in the Old Testament, apostate prophets forbade the people of mentioning this set apart name of the Almighty (Hosea 2;16-17; Amas [Amos] 6:10; Yirmeyahu [Jeremiah] 23:2627). Babylonian Talmudist Rabbis concealed the Set Apart Name of YAHUWAH because of their superstitions that it will be profaned by Gentiles [Goyim]. The Talmud points out that they had started to remove these names (YAH, YAHU, YAHUWAH) that had been stamped on jars in order to protect their holiness. (Arakin 6a; Shabbat 61b). Out of respect, the Name was to be avoided in conversation, as proven by these remarks from Jewish books written in the second century BCE: Do not accustom into the habit of naming the Holy One and someone who is continually swearing and uttering the Name will not be exempt from sin. (Si 23:9, 10). Indeed a product of great contradiction to the Scripture that the Name YAHUWAH (hwhy) must be proclaimed throughout the earth (Exodus 9:16). The various scribal concealment of the set-apart name also effected the adulteration of the Set Apart Name as Jeremiah prophesied (Jer. 8:8). These lies were inherited by Greek, Latin and English translators (Jer. 16:19-21). During His incarnation, YAHUSHUA reproved the Pharisees who followed the Talmud for not receiving Him with the Set Apart Name of the Father (John 5:43). He blatantly exposed the anti-Messiah Pharisees and Scribes that their ancestors were the one responsible for the murder of the true Prophets (Matt. 23:28-32). Many times YAHUSHUA Ha Mashiach mentioned YAHUWAH the Father (LukAH [Luke] 4:18-22; Isa.66:1-2; Matt.22:44; Psa. 110:1). Finally YAHUSHUA the son of YAHUWAH was condemned to death by those Pharisees who were anti-Messiah because He mentioned the name YAHUWAH and to them it was blasphemy (Mark 14:61-64). This atrocities and sin against the Name of the Father and the Son continues even to forbidding the disciples (talmidim) in teaching the name YAHUWAH (Maaseh Ha Shlekhim [Acts] 4:16-18; 5:28). Later on, these ended up with persecution of the Roman Catholic Church against the true believers of YAHUSHUA Ha Mashiach (not Jesus) because of using the true Name. The Society of Jesus [Jesuits] in 1534 invented the false name JESUS and attributed it to the Messiah as His name, the false name of Jesus, many believe in, if you are using the name of Jesus remember it came from the Roman [Catholic] Church. And it is not supported by any true Original Scriptures. The pagan name Chrestos is also given to the Hebrew Messiah. When YAHUSHUA was resurrected He was given the name above all names, and He has the same name with the Father YAHUWAH (Prov. 30:4; John 17:11-12; Matt. 28:19; Phil. 2:9-10; Eph. 1:21; Rev. 3:12; 22:3-4).
