Is the name Jesus a translation for the name Jehovah in Hebrew?

Question

Any Bible Scholar's out there that can help me on this. I never knew this and want to know if this is correct.

Inat, your answer is VERY interesting. "Jesus the God, or Jesus the human" that died on the cross. But a human sacrifice is a "abomination" to YHWH."
So, was it Jesus the God that died on the cross?

HGnostin, you are saying there is ONE God with so many names including the name Jesus, because He causes to "become" what he wants to "become" when he chooses to "become" at that time?

Achtung, in agreement YHWH name is to be highly respected. Curse is the ones that use His name in vain. The ones that do evil deeds in His name. The ones that slander the God Almighty that is HIS name.

TrustDel asks, "Is God composed of 3 persons?"
Teem has in his answer, "YHWH (Yahweh/JHVH (Jehovah) = "He causes to become" or "He shall become".

Answer 1

(Je•ho'vah) [the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Heb. verb ha•wah' (become); meaning “He Causes to Become”].
The personal name of God. (Isa 42:8; 54:5) Though Scripturally designated by such descriptive titles as “God,” “Sovereign Lord,” “Creator,” “Father,” “the Almighty,” and “the Most High,” his personality and attributes—who and what he is—are fully summed up and expressed only in this personal name.—Ps 83:18.
Correct Pronunciation of the Divine Name. “Jehovah” is the best known English pronunciation of the divine name, although “Yahweh” is favored by most Hebrew scholars. The oldest Hebrew manuscripts present the name in the form of four consonants, commonly called the Tetragrammaton (from Greek te•tra-, meaning “four,” and gram'ma, “letter”). These four letters (written from right to left) are  and may be transliterated into English as YHWH (or, JHVH).
The Hebrew consonants of the name are therefore known. The question is, Which vowels are to be combined with those consonants? Vowel points did not come into use in Hebrew until the second half of the first millennium C.E. (See HEBREW, II [Hebrew Alphabet and Script].) Furthermore, because of a religious superstition that had begun centuries earlier, the vowel pointing found in Hebrew manuscripts does not provide the key for determining which vowels should appear in the divine name.


JESUS

(Je'sus) [Lat. form of the Gr. I•e•sous', which corresponds to the Heb. Ye•shu'a` or Yehoh•shu'a` and means “Jehovah Is Salvation”].
Jewish historian Josephus of the first century C.E. mentions some 12 persons, other than those in the Bible record, bearing that name. It also appears in the Apocryphal writings of the last centuries of the B.C.E. period. It therefore appears that it was not an uncommon name during that period.

1. The name I•e•sous' appears in the Greek text of Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8 and applies to Joshua, the leader of Israel following Moses’ death.—See JOSHUA No. 1.

2. An ancestor of Jesus Christ, evidently in his mother’s line. (Lu 3:29) Some ancient manuscripts here read “Jose(s).”—See GENEALOGY OF JESUS CHRIST.

3. Jesus Christ.—

4. A Christian, evidently Jewish, and fellow worker of Paul. He was also called Justus.—Col 4:11.

Answer 2

No, it is not.

The name "Jehovah" comes from the sacred name for God usually transliterated as YHWH, and most often translated Yahweh by modern scholars.

Jesus comes from the Hebre name Yeshua, which in English is the name Joshua. The "Ye" at the beginning of the name is a short form of YHWH. While many Hebrew names have "ye", "yah", "ya" or other variations on YHWH in them, they are not considered a translation of YHWH.

Answer 3

No. Jesus is Yeshua (meaning He will save...) And Jehovah is Yahweh (meaning eternal breath).

After Jesus raised from the dead, Father God highly exalted Him with the Name above all names (Yahweh). That at the Name of Yeshua, every knee shall bow & tongue confess, "Yeshua Messiah is Yahweh!".

Yahweh Elohim (LORD God) Is God the Father, Word & Holy Spirit, One Yahweh.


Drsupersol, Iesus is Greek, not Hebrew. Yeshua is Hebrew. Or Yehoshua.

Messianic Jews call Jesus 'Yeshua' today. And the Lord has revealed this His Name when he walked the earth.


There are no 'Js' in Hebrew or Greek. Started out Yeshua, then Iasus, then Jesus. In different translations depending on what letters a language had or didn't have.

Answer 4

Jehovah is the mistranslation of the Hebrew word for God, Yahweh. Jehovah is, in fact, a made up word. Jesus' name is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Yeshua, or what we call Joshua in English.

Answer 5

Jehovah means God of the Jews. Yeshua is the Hebrew name for Jesus

Answer 6

Jehovah (Yahweh) literally means "He Causes to Become" or "He Shall Become"

Jesus (Yeshua) literally means 'Jehovah is Salvation'
Isaiah literally means 'Salvation is Jehovah'
Jehu literally means "Jehovah is He"

Not a scholar, but I have done my homework.

Yahweh Elohim is incorrectly translated as "LORD God".
Translating this as LORD God, would be the same as calling President Bush, "President Man"

Since Yahweh is a proper name, this phrase is translated into English as Jehovah God.

Answer 8

No. Jesus is a translation of the Hebrew name Joshua.

Hosea the son of Nun had his name changed to Joshua by Moses under divine inspiration.

Jesus was also given this name as a human.

Answer 9

The name J*sus comes from Greek, not Hebrew. His name was Yeshua in Hebrew, which the greeks translated to J*sus.
It is the hallmark of pagan, idolatrous faiths, to confuse God with human beings, either that God becomes human, or that humans become God. In Biblical history, one sees this confusion with Pharaoh, and with Haman, as well as with Antiochus, the Assyrian King against whom the Maccabbees rebelled. Furthermore, as one example, in Hosea 11:9 God tell us, "For I am God and not a man."
Christians identify Messiah with Jesus and define him as God incarnated as a man, and believe he died for the sins of humanity as a blood sacrifice. This means that one has to accept the idea that one person's death can atone for another person's sins. However, this is opposed to what the Bible says in Deuteronomy 24:26, "Every man shall be put to death for his own sin," which is also expressed in Exodus 32:30-35, and Ezekiel 18. The Christian idea of the messiah also assumes that God wants, and will accept, a human sacrifice. After all, it was either Jesus-the-god who died on the cross, or Jesus-the-human. Jews believe that God cannot die, and so all that Christians are left with in the death of Jesus on the cross, is a human sacrifice. However, in Deuteronomy 12:30-31, God calls human sacrifice an abomination, and something He hates: "for every abomination to the Eternal, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods." All human beings are sons or daughters, and any sacrifice to God of any human being would be something that God would hate. The Christian idea of the messiah consists of ideas that are UnBiblical.

Answer 10

The name Jesus is the Greek rendering of the Hebrew name Joshua - or more correctly Jehoshua, which means "the Salvation of Yahweh" (or the Salvation of Jehovah if you prefer)
