history of name jehova?

Question

who was first to record the name of the god

Answer 1

Moses.

The name Jehovah means "I am that I am," which is what God called Himself to Moses. The Bible actually states that no one before Moses knew God by that name.

It actually takes the four letters the Jews used to say "I am that I am" and adds in the consonants from three other ways to say God in Hebrew, so it is: "Jhwh" with the consonants "eoa" added in to make the English word.

Answer 2

G_Ds name is actually YHWH. This is found on items older than the Sumerian tablets. Even found among Native Indian Tribes in America on what is called keystones. A famous one was found at Newark Ohio Indian Mounds.

Some say YHWH, others Yahweh, Yahveh, Yodh Heh Wah Heh or even Native Indian as Yehowah.

Jehovah came in around the 14th century as that is when the letter J was invented. Prior to this Hebrew did not contain a J. J and Y and interchangeable in places just as a V or W are. This is also true in many Native Indian languages which are based on ancient Hebrew.

Not sure who was the first to use it. Some believe the Gnostics did the YHWH to Jehovah translation using vowel points. But no one really can be sure as far as I know. Best I can say is some time in the 14th century is when it was coined.

I myself do not like the name. Because if J is not there, the e is removed as well as that is attached to the J for sound. So that leaves Hovah. Well Strong's clearly defines that as a bad item, trickery, etc.

But that can also be seen as a Gnostic item as many thought the Gnostics did improper translations of the Bible. This is why the Catholic church hid their writings for a very long time. But recently, in the past 50 or so years they have been leaked back out. Most know them as the "new" vesions of the bible we see today. The New KJV, the New American Standard, the NIV and on down the line. Many of these "new" versions have the Gnostic errors in them or the removal and changes of some passages that are important.

I myself follow the name YHWH, not cause its the "Hewbrew G-D" or such but due to its the oldest name on earth for ANY G_D of ANY type. If G_D created this earth and us... would he not sign his name as the first item?

Plus Jesus's real name is Yahushua. Yahushau is a division of YHWH for Yah. Some say Jah here but thats not Jehovah as that would be Jeh. It can get quiet confusing due to multiple languages, times and the fact many people believe so strongly in which ever name they already choose.

Answer 3

The legend of the origin of the name is in Exodus 3:13-14, where Moses asks God's name and is answered with "I am who I am," connecting the four-letter name of God (tranliterated from Hebrew as YHWH) with the Hebrew verb for "to be."

Because the Roman alphabet has frequently used J to represent a Y sound and V for a W sound, another transliteration was JHVH. But the Name was never actually pronounced when reading the Hebrew scripture; the word "Elohim" (the Lord) was substituted. So when vowel markings, which had not been traditionally present in Hebrew, were added, the vowels marked on the Name were those for the substitute word.

Europeans interpolated those vowels in the written consonants to produce the hybrid name "Jehovah."

Answer 4

The correct pronunciation of the Hebrew "Tetragrammaton"(four-letter-name) JHWH is apparently Jahwe. The pronunciation "Jehovah" was first introduced by Christian scholars four centuries ago; and the first time that can be traced is by the Italian Franciscan monk Peter Galatinus, a baptized Israelite, in his book, "The Mysteries of Catholic Truth", (De Arcanis Catholicae Veritatis, 1518), and so a year after the nailing up of Luther's Theses in Wittenberg.

Answer 5

It's the translation of Yahweh, the name given to God.

Answer 6

Jehovah is composed of the abbreviated forms of the imperfect, the participle, and the perfect of the Hebrew verb "to be" (ye=yehi; ho=howeh; wa=hawah). According to this explanation, the meaning of Jehovah would be "he who will be, is, and has been".

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade had it.
Also a man-made story.

Answer 8

When Moses encountered God, He called Himself YAHWEH....it evolved through translation into Latin as Iehouah (latin had no "j", and the v sound was represented by a "u")
Tyndale inserted it into his translations as Iehovah when he published his translations of the original Jewish texts.
