YHVH? any ideas?

Question

What is an almighty YHVH?

thanks for answering guys...and if i got it wrong i'm sorry.xx

Answer 1

YAHWEH identifies the name of the true God and is translated in the Bible as LORD. The Authorised Version wrongly translated Yahweh as 'Jehovah'. The original Hebrew word was not vocalised as the 'tetragrammaton' (YHWY) was considered too sacred to pronounce. When vowels were combined with the consonants YHWY, it was assumed the spelling should be 'Jehovah' (around the beginning of the 12th century AD). 'Jehovah' comes from the Latin. Studies show the pronunciation should be Yahweh and is indicated by the transliterations of the name into Greek in early Christian literature.

What does the name mean? Literally, 'the one who is' or 'one who causes to be' or 'I will be what I will be' or 'I am who I am'. Other variations on the name give us a clue as to the nature of this Almighty God:

The Lord provides
The Lord is my banner
The Lord is peace
The Lord, our righteousness
The Lord is there
The Lord of hosts

I hope this helps answer your question.

Answer 2

YHVH or YHWH has been pronounced a few different ways like Yaweh and Jehovah. The pronouniations are slightly different, but the meaning is the same. It is found in Exodus 3:14 and accurately rendered "I shall prove to be what i shall prove to be". It means that Jehovah can turn his attention to fulfill his purpose in any way he chooses. He is not limited by natural laws or a blinkered view. He can choose to see, think, say and do whatever is required to fulfill his own word.

Some of the things that he promises to do is turn the Earth back into a paradise of peace in which those who wish to do harm will not exist.(Psalm 37:11, Isaiah 65:17-25), resurrect the dead (John 11:24, Revelation 21:4) and, most importantly, magnify and glorify his own name - Jehovah, or however it is pronounced (Ezekiel 6:7, 14, also Ezekiel chapte 7: 9, 27, Psalm 83:18)

Answer 3

ok, you got confused and it is totally ok. YHVH, or YHWH as it is also known is the symbolic way of writting the name of God. It stands for the letter of the Hebrew alef bet ( alphabet) that spell the word. yod heh vav heh, and hebrew can be written with or without vowel. Yaweh as it looks in english is the True name of God. In Jewish tradtion, they do no say this name, as a way not to take the name of the Lord in vein. So when they come across Yaweh in the scripture, the substitute is with hashem which literally means the name. I hope that helps you

Answer 4

YHVH or YHWH is the name of the God of the OT. In America, it is generally spelled JEHOVAH. The J came from the German spelling. In German, the J is pronounced like our Y.

In Hebrew, there are no vowels, hence only consonants in the name. The vowels in Jehovah are from the fact that Hebrew scribes added "vowel points" to aid in pronouncing Hebrew words. The vowel points in YHWH are from ADONAI (Lord) and ELOHIM (God).

Answer 5

Tetragrammation.

Yod He Vau He

Father, mother, son, daughter.

When you talk to a person, it's pronounced "Yahweh," or "Jehovah," as the Hebrew language uses marks for vowels, not letters.

It's the most common name of God, essentially. Makes a damn good meditive chant [it's relatively hard to vibrate though]

Answer 6

Some would argue that it's spelled "YHWH", and pronounced "Yahweh". But I think "YHWH" is completely false, and that YHVH is the correct way in spelling God's name.

Answer 7

Four english letters, that roughly correlate to the four hebrew letters used to denote God, and have no known accurate pronunciation.

Answer 8

Bionicbab got it right. But no-one has said what it means (all Hebrew names for God mean something specific). It means "I AM THAT WHICH I AM."

Answer 9

It is the four letter name for G-d we must not speak or say to preserve its holiness.

Answer 10

Tetragrammaton. Hebrew name for god. It's pretty distinctive to Jenovah or other names for god
