Bible Question:
JONP, Just asking what is YHWH never heard of it I listen to Jesus I am his sheep and I listen to his voice |
Bible Answer: Hi Sorry for my lack of clarity. YHWH is the name of God in the Old Testament (Yahweh; Jahweh; Jehovah). The four letters which represent His Name are in fact unpronounceable. The Jews consider it blasphemy to speak the Name, thus the Hebrew text represents it with the four letters together with indicators that when read another word should be used, either LORD or GOD. So when in such translations as AV, RV, RSV etc you see GOD or LORD in capital letters it is an indication that they are translating the sacred Name of YHWH. The reason why it is unpronounceable is because as it was never pronounced eventually everyone forgot how it should be pronounced. So now no one knows!. It is often called the Tetragrammaton. Hope this clarifies the situation. Best wishes Jonp |
