Subject: Why don't we address God as Yahweh? |
Bible Note: 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. |
