Hi Ischus That is absolutely brilliant! However, where did you get that on Jehova not being Yahweh? We have been taught at Bible School that they are one and the same - the one Hebrew and the other English. I understand what you are saying about the scribes not using the name of God, but the fact that you say Jehova it is a combination of Adonai and Yahweh, that changes things somewhat. We have been told that Jehova/Yahweh means THE SELF-EXISTENT ONE, WHO REVEALS HIMSELF AND CHANGES NOT. Brenda |

Also, when you mention the SELF EXISTENT ONE- this is kind of tricky: "Yahweh" is actually a 3rd-person-causitive form of the word, "Hiyah." Hiyah is the word in Ex.3 translated as 'I AM' and this is the SELF EXISTENT ONE. BUT- Yahweh is the 3rd person (he,she,it,or the one) causitive( meaning active or causing) form. That is why I give you the other definition, which is more active and more causal: "The one who causes things to happen." ischus |
