You could look it up on the internet - or here's a good idea: Go to www.e-sword.net and download this Bible study tool. These have a translator available in the King James Version that will give you the Hebrew word and its meaning just by placing your mouse on the word in question. FYI - Hallelujah means Praise the Lord.

Not really .. we were taught it was an expression of joyous praise like the wiki mentiones.
on the other hand, there was and is much shuffling along not completely under
standing much of anything.
And most don't now about the light of Simeon, that hangs in the corner either.
It seems to work.

I thought I read something about how back in the old testament or something, the name Yahwa (don't know how to spell it) was too holy to say the complete name. So Hallelujah is Hebrew for saying
Holy God... hallelu yahwa.....without saying God's whole name Yahwa, because it was too holy, they only said the first syllable.

For most Christians it means, "Praise God!" I believe for most Jewish people it means about the same thing. Within the Old Testament, or Tanakh, it is exclaimed numerous times. It is also mentioned in the New Testament.

hallelujah - a shout or song of praise to God
praise - offering words of homage as an act of worship; "they sang a hymn of praise to God"

You are mistakenly referring to the pagan god "yah or jah."
However, the word is coincidentally similar to the Hebrew word, "HALLELUJAH."
The word,"bill" can be something you pay.
The word, "Bill" can also be someones name.
Does that mean the two words are one in the same or have something to do with each other?
Not necessarily.
I think you are confused or trying to confuse others.
