1 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | EdB | 112269 | ||
Boris Cat YHWH is without vowels and therefore impossible for us to pronounce. The vowels were added taken from the Greek word Adonni. The language laws demand that Y be pronounced as J but many say Y. Remember Jews would never think of saying God's name and even when writing the word God will write G-d. there have been many discussions on God's name. I personally like Exodus 3:15 Moreover God said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: 'The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.' EdB |

In the ASV, Ex 3:5 states, "And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." Comparing to the NASB, your quote actually would put "LORD" in all-capitals, showing it as a substitution for YHWH, which appears in the text of the manuscripts. So, really, Ex 3:15 is telling Moses to use his name (Jehovah in English.) And ´Adho·nai´ is Hebrew for Lord. 'Kyrios' is Greek. I think you just mistyped; I only correct it for others who are reading. |

Is there a way to edit for typos? Of course, I meant Ex 3:15 in my opening line.... | ||||||
