The Rules of this Board
1. Do not post images of Idols or Icons
2. Do not blaspheme the name of Yehovah
3. Do not call anyone on earth Father or Rabbi
4. Do not post the Star of Moloch (a.k.a Star of David)
Why is his name Yehovah?
There are many theories how his name is spelled, but most of them are just theories.
But we know that in the jewish community, the Rabbis where to secretly teach every 7 years their followers what his name is.
This is also how Yehovah got into the bible translations and the heads of christians, because some Rabbis did not keep their mouth shut and keep it a secret.
We also found that in the earliest hebrew codexes with vowel points the scribes sometimes forgot to omit the final vowel point in the writing of the Tetragramaton, for example look at the picture which is from the Leningrad Codex. Hebrew scribes adopted the praxis to omit the last vowel point of the Tetragramaton to make it unpronounceable to the reader, but still had to mentally speak out the name when writing it down.
But why Yehova and not Jehovah?
>Because this is a english speaking board!
But how is this related? The "J" (Jay) letter in the english alphabet is the reason. The hebrew language does not have a "Jay" sound/letter, but only a Y"/"I" sounding letter.
In most other languages like german you don't pronounce the "J" as (Jay) but correct as "Y"/"I". The "J" was not native to the english language but developed in the 17th century. The name Jehovah was introduced when the "J" was still pronounced similar to "I", but how languages do change over time the "I" sound of the "J" turned into its modern pronunciation of "Jay", so out of Yehovah became Jehovah.
