Jehovah, is that a miss pronunciation of the Name of the Jewish ?

Question

Tribal God called, Yahweh. Any historians, if you know ,will you inform us all please.

Answer 1

Yes, it is. See the Jewish people never wrote the name Yahweh with its appropriate vowels. Instead, they put the vowels into the word so the person reading the name would say Adonai instead of Yahweh. (Putting Adonai's vowels into the consonants of the Hebrew word Yahweh is read Jehovah.) We really do not know how to pronounce the sacred name, but believe that Yahweh makes the most sense from the other cognates of the root.

Answer 2

The truth is, nobody knows for sure how the name of God was originally pronounced because the first language used in writing the Bible was Hebrew, and when the Hebrew language was written down, the writers wrote only consonants—not vowels. Hence, when the inspired writers wrote God’s name, they naturally did the same thing and wrote only the consonants.

While ancient Hebrew was an everyday spoken language, this presented no problem. The pronunciation of the Name was familiar to the Israelites and when they saw it in writing they supplied the vowels without thinking (just as, for an English reader, the abbreviation “Ltd.” represents “Limited” and “bldg.” represents “building”).

Two things happened to change this situation. First, a superstitious idea arose among the Jews that it was wrong to say the divine name out loud; so when they came to it in their Bible reading they uttered the Hebrew word ’Adho·nai′ (“Sovereign Lord”). Further, as time went by, the ancient Hebrew language itself ceased to be spoken in everyday conversation, and in this way the original Hebrew pronunciation of God’s name was eventually forgotten.

In English, an accepted way to say God's name is Jehovah. In many other languages, it is pronounced in a similar way.

Answer 3

Yahweh is a Jewish word, which is referred to god the Almighty. It may sound tribal to modern people like you, in the same sense that all our forefathers were tribal at a particular time of history. Tribal is a relative term.

Answer 4

Modern research suggests tha pronunciation should be Yahweh, but to avoid the possibility of uttering the sacred name in vain, the Hebrews could not pronounce it, and used to say Adonai (The Lord) every time they thead the 4 letters YHWH.

The Tribal God you accurately mention was the Hebrews' War God (Yahweh Shebaot).
The ancient Hebrews were polytheists (believed in the existence of many gods), but they were monolatric (worshiped only theirs). They became fully monotheist at a later stage.

Answer 5

Tribal? The creator of the Universe, a Tribal God?

Answer 6

More than likely, the god YHWH began as a tribal god to the Hebrews. No one really knows how it was pronounced back then.

NO.

Yahweh >> God.

Answer 9

it's a miss translation of the hebrew word YHVH with the vowel letters of the word for lord... because it was a reminder to use "lord" and not the name of God when reading the torah aloud

Answer 10

Absolutely. The letter "J" didn't come into existence until the 14th century. Most "J" words translated in English are "Y" words in Hebrew (e.g., Yosef instead of "Joseph," Yeshua instead of "Jesus"). Even one dictionary I have clearly defines "Jehovah" as a "false reading of the name of God."
