Subject: WHERE TO FIND ALL THE NAMES OF GOD |
Bible Note: This reveals poor research on your part EdB since, the first writer to use the term “Jehova” was a Catholic monk; not Tyndale! Raymundus Martini, a Spanish monk of the Dominican order, first rendered the divine name as “Jehova.” This form appeared in his book Pugeo Fidei, published in 1270 C.E.—over 700 years ago. Also, Adonai is not even a Greek word but the Hebrew Word translated into English as Lord. If you read any Hebrew translation as I do you will see that the vowel points are provided so yes indeed it is pronounced in Hebrew. Get a copy at Barns and Nobel book store. Jay Green’s Interlinear provides the vowel points so you can pronounce God’s name in Hebrew, which by the way is Yehovah. But when I speak English I use either Jehovah or Yaweh. Can you please tell me who the translators of the King James or the New American Standard Bible were? Like those translators the men who compose the translation committee of the NWT have indicated their desire to remain anonymous, and specifically do not want their names to be published while they are alive or after their death. The purpose of the translation is to exalt not men but the name of the living, true God. Although, I do know who one of the members of the committee was but respect his wishes. Interestingly, the jacket of the 1971 Reference Edition of the New American Standard Bible similarly stated: “We have not used any scholar’s name for reference or recommendations because it is our belief God’s Word should stand on its merits.” Your other question: How did they come upon the Codex Leningrad B 19A? Bible Societys that meet certain requirements can visit and sometimes photo copy the manuscripts in Russia as they did, although I do know of an individual who did from California and published a book on God’s name.
