difference between alleluia and hallelujah?

Question

does anybody know?.. I always wondered that long time ago, and then when I became a church choir member, the question ran into my head again.

Answer 1

In Greek, there is not really a letter H; it is represented by which way the hook-looking mark goes at the beginning of the word. So when the Hebrew "Halleluyah" was translated from Hebrew to Greek and then to Latin, it became "Alleluia". But when German scholars translated directly from the Hebrew, they got "Hallelujah". The J in German is pronounced as the English Y and the Hebrew letter "Yod".

Answer 3

Define Alleluia

Answer 4

Hallelujah, Halleluyah, or Alleluia, is a transliteration of the Hebrew word הַלְלוּיָהּ (Standard Halləluya, Tiberian Halləlûyāh) meaning "praise (הַלְּלוּ) Yah (יָהּ)". It is found mainly in the book of Psalms and has a similar pronunciation in many, but not all, languages. The word is used in Judaism as part of the Hallel prayers, and in Christian praise. It has been accepted into the English language.

Answer 7

I like hallelujah as I was taught in my bible class that "h" has a special meaning of the breath of God - so God gave Abram a new name Abra"h"am and Sarai Sara"h"
Having remembered that, I want to praise God with my breath, representing my being (life)
