The Codex Leningrad B 19A, of the 11th century C.E., vowel points the Tetragrammaton to read Yehwah′, Yehwih′, and Yeho·wah′. Ginsburg’s edition of the Masoretic text vowel points the divine name to read Yeho·wah′. (Ge 3:14, ftn) Hebrew scholars generally favor “Yahweh” as the most likely pronunciation. They point out that the abbreviated form of the name is Yah (Jah in the Latinized form), as at Psalm 89:8 and in the expression Ha·lelu-Yah′ (meaning “Praise Jah, you people!”). (Ps 104:35; 150:1, 6) Also, the forms Yehoh′, Yoh, Yah, and Ya′hu, found in the Hebrew spelling of the names Jehoshaphat, Joshaphat, Shephatiah, and others, can all be derived from Yahweh. Greek transliterations of the name by early Christian writers point in a somewhat similar direction with spellings such as I·a·be′ and I·a·ou·e′, which, as pronounced in Greek, resemble Yahweh. Still, there is by no means unanimity among scholars on the subject, some favoring yet other pronunciations, such as “Yahuwa,” “Yahuah,” or “Yehuah.”
Since certainty of pronunciation is not now attainable, there seems to be no reason for abandoning in English the well-known form “Jehovah” in favor of some other suggested pronunciation. If such a change were made, then, to be consistent, changes should be made in the spelling and pronunciation of a host of other names found in the Scriptures: Jeremiah would be changed to Yir·meyah′, Isaiah would become Yesha‛·ya′hu, and Jesus would be either Yehoh·shu′a‛ (as in Hebrew) or I·e·sous′ (as in Greek). The purpose of words is to transmit thoughts; in English the name Jehovah identifies the true God, transmitting this thought more satisfactorily

Witnesses quote Justin in the trinity brochure. See what he really said. there is pronounced over him who chooses to be born again, and has repented of his sins, the name of God the Father and Lord of the universe; he who leads to the layer the person that is to be washed calling him by this name alone. For no one can utter the name of the ineffable God; and if any one dare to say that there is a name, he raves with a hopeless madness

The Hebrew tetragrammaton which makes YHWH is pronounced as Yahweh, known in the English language as Jehovah, God's name.

Quite frankly I thought it was YHVH SILLY ME!! Zola's Introduction to Hebrew list 13 or 14 different Hebrew names for God, the very first one was YHVH. I didn't see YHWH! YES HE DID . AS CHRIST ONCE SAID "IF YOU'VE SEEN ME YOU'VE SEEN THE FATHER. CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK, WHAT. God bless dsheppard. Yeshua I believe is translated as God's savior and YHVH is just the Hebrew NAME of God. I GUESS YHWH IS AN ALTERNATIVE SPELLING , MY MISTAKE

They have the same attributes. A lot of texts referring to Yahveh in the Old Testament are foud again in the New, referring to Jesus.

No, Yahweh is God or Jehovah and Yeshua is Joshua.
Cheers!

Hebrews chapter one tells us that Jesus was the "express image" of God. That is, Jesus was the perfect likeness of the Father.
So, yes, same attributes.
god bless
