Yeshua (Yahweh is Salvation/Yah Saves) is Hebrew, Ἰησοῦς is Greek, Iēsoûs (Jesous/Jesus) is Latin, Joshua is English. The Phoenician/Hebrew י 𐤉 (Yod) is the Greek Ἰ (Iota) this letter becomes transliterated to I or J in latin why Jesus is J but sounds like Ies or Yes, overtime J became a hard Geh in English. 𐤇 ח (Het) is the Greek η (Eta) and becomes either H or E Ee or Ay (eh) sound so in the Greek we get Yah/Yeh the short form of the name of the Father. 𐤔 ש (sin/shen) becomes the greek σ (sigma) or the latin/english S. Finally we have 𐤏 ע (ayin) which is the greek Ο omicron. שע we get the word for sha (short for yasha/ savior), ῦς is a little special and is tag to the end that can denote son/male/plural of a person's name. but the letter ῦ (upsilon) is the phoenician and hebrew 𐤅 ו (waw) or latin f, u, v, w, y. ς is another form of the letter (sigma) or S. so the full Greek to Hebrew transliteration is יחשע.

Actually, I think you bring up a very good point. Not until archeologists uncover Abraham or Moses' tape recorder will we ever know for certainty how a word or name was originally pronounced. So, with that said, Yihweh is my opinion of how the name would be pronounced "based" on the traditional pronunciation. But I stress again, the actual pronunciation is not where our emphasis should be, but on the character yhwh.

Technically speaking Jeff, we do have cuneiform tablets that represent all of the different sounds, so if those tablets contain the name YHWH then we should be able to properly pronounce the name, no? Here's an excerpt from an article I read: "Also, a family of Jewish businessmen living in the Mesopotamian city of Kippur in the fifth century BC left behind a collection of clay tablets recording their commercial transactions. The clay tablets, known as the Murashu documents, contain vowels and list the names of about 70 Jewish settlers in Persia. The Hebrew names which begin with יהו (Yod Heh Waw) are all written "Yahu-" and never "Yeho"." What do you think?

That is a popular teaching and it is true that parts of each of these words do fit in the name YHWH, but this, like many other popular teachings we most likely no known by the authors of the texts, but are instead a later teaching.

There is absolutely no way to with certainty how the name was pronounced in ancient times. All we can do is make educated guesses and there are many possible answers.

@sbz666283 The idea that only the High Priest pronounced the name is only a tradition within Judaism, but the textual evidence says that in Ancient times everyone was pronouncing the name, even the Pharaoh of Egypt. Also, the vowel points are not lost, they were added to the text. The name יהוה, as well as every other Hebrew name in the Hebrew Bible, were never written with vowel points.

I usually use Yahweh, especially when I am speaking to a group since this is the name that many are familiar with. In my opinion, the best pronunciation, based on known rules of Hebrew pronunciation, is Yihweh, but keep in mind that this is based on modern Hebrew rules, we do not know the rules of Hebrew pronunciation in ancient times.

Yahweh is incorrect a modern idea from around 1800 ,does not blend with theophoric names, hence we do not say Yasus or Jasus in place of Jesus

@mmitchell80 There is nothing wrong with attempting to determine the pronunciation of the name YHWH, but the problem is that most people that do do not understand the rules of Hebrew pronunciation. For instance, in your example of seeing YHWH in YHWDH (Yehudah), when you remove the D you change the position of the W. In YHWH the W is at the beginning of a syllable, but in YHWDH, the W is at the end of a syllable, this changes how you will pronounce the W.

Awesome, so blessed, im glad you did a two part video on this!!

@TiboTV The only evidence we have for basing a pronunciation is on the masoretic Hebrew text which added the vowel pointings, and the LXX (Septuagint), which transliterated Hebrew names into Greek which did have vowel sounds. In the case of אליהו the masoretic text pronounces this as ey-lee-yah-hu. The LXX pronounces it as eh-lee-oo (no letter for "h" in Greek).

@sparkshot We think alike :-). I also think pre-flood technology exceeded our own, but while we have dedicated our energies to "electronic" technology, I have a suspicion that the ancients used a different form of power. Sounds recorded in rocks? That may sound mad, but so would the idea of DNA a hundred years ago :-)

I have a book "The Believers Hebrew Prayer Companion by Siddur Bayit" and there are 5 related pronunciations for Set-Apart Name: 1) Yah-way 2) Yah-hoo-way 3) Yah-oo-ay 4) Yah-oo-ah 5) Yeh-ho-vah , and now Yih-wey. And the Ophirians also pronounce it as , "Yahawah". And in HalleluYah Scriptures. It is YAHUAH.

Generally speaking, if I am working on a video that examines the Masoretic Hebrew text I use the "v" sound for the letter vav/waw. However, if I am doing a video on the Ancient Hebrew alphabet and language I will use the "w" sound. Other examples of a word using the w instead of v is mawot vs. mavot (death), wai'yomer and vai'yomer (and he said).

@mistermateriel In the Hebrew copies of Mathew and in Hebrew translations you will find the yhwh. In my opinion the NT was originally written in Hebrew and did contain the name YHWH throughout, but when it was translated into Greek it was replaced with the Greek word kurios, just as they did with the Septuagint for the OT.

@Rodney James For the name YHWH, Jehovah interpretation is wrong: it's not Hebrew, doesn't mean anything. What is the source thats says, the Hebrew verb hayah, h-y-h, means 'become; prove to be', and hawah, h-w-h, means 'become'? It would then mean, that Hebrew wouldn't have a verb 'be'. That would make it the only language that doesn't have it. there are some languages that don't expres it in the present tense, but use it in other time modes, tenses - like these Hebrew verbs are interpreted. Though biblical Hebrew didn't use tenses, only aspects of complete and incomplete action.

Let's try to imagine the situation here. So you say: "- No way, Marcelo, the name must be a word, a phoneme, of course!" Ok, then. Now you please tell me what this verse means: "I have made Your Name known to them and revealed Your character and Your very Self, and I will continue to make [You] known, that the love which You have bestowed upon Me may be in them [felt in their hearts] and that I [Myself] may be in them.

(fleshy) And I'll let you think about just another approach to this subject. Everything that was created, has a name. Not THE CREATOR. We are "under the time/space/matter dome". HE is NOT. Your toys, your puppies, your child has a name you gave them. They never gave you a name. Why? The Creator made the man, not the opposite.

This is a very common method used by many to determine the pronunciation of the YHWH. However, those making this claim do not understand the mechanics of the Hebrew language. Yehudah is a noun while YHWH is a verb. Because of these differences the pronunciations will not be the same but different.

thank you so much for this excellent presentation and explanation of "I am".

I think the fact that God gave Moses His Divine Name as two different words with almost identical meanings (Ehyeh in Exodus 6 and Yihwah in Exodus 3) proves that we shouldn't make a big deal about how to pronounce the Name but we should be more concerned about the meaning and significance of the Name. What do you think? I'm not saying we should not use the Name though in our daily lives.

@YAHWEHisperfect Strong's has its limitations, it can only tell you the base word. For instance, the word for savior is מושיע (moshiah), but when you look this up in Strong's it simply says it is the verb ישע (yasha) meaning "to save." What it can't tell you is the moshiah is the piel participle of the verb yasha. I have found some mistakes, but also some misunderstandings and mistranslations.

As I point out in the video, there is really no way of knowing how this name was originally pronounced. Based on my understanding of Hebrew and its pronunciation I believe it was pronounced Yih'weh, but this is only an educated guess. I rarely use Yih'weh, as most people would not know what I am saying, so I will generally use "Yahweh," which most everyone recognizes.

I have been agreeing with you through all of your videos except this one. I personally believe that I AM is not Yahweh's name. Yahweh has only one name and that is Yahweh. When Yahweh said that he is I AM, he was just introducing himself or introducing his real name - Yahweh. Since they are closely related and Yahweh only acknowledge himself as I AM, he was just introducing in holy name - Yahweh. Nowhere else in the bible any one called Yahweh by the name of I AM or I EXISTS or whatever. That concluded that I AM is not his real name. Exodus 6:3 "and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them." So his name is Yahweh and that is his only name.

I have a question.....where does God say we must "only pronounce his name" as it was given in old Hebrew? God had confused the languages of man many years ago....wouldn't he take that into account when people started calling in his name? Wouldn't they say the name of God in their own language? And that never sounds the same as the original....look at the name Jesus in English....it is Iesous in Greek, and it is pronounced Yeshua or Yehoshua in Hebrew.they sound nothing alike.

Cameron Kiesser that is all wrong

(Nehemiah 8:17) "all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness. From this we understand that the ancient masorites/Jewish scribes translated his name as "Jesus" and as "Yeshua" which then became "Jeshua" because Joshua had the same name as the Messiah, Joshua's (the sun of the nun) hebrew name is Yahushua. And as for the name "yeshua" that is NOT the name of our savior, that is a completely destroyed mutilated form of the name of our savior Yahushua. Yeshua is a name that the ancient masorites/Jewish scribes from the 10th century inserted into scripture because they were following an even more ancient Jewish rabbinical law that was traditional, that the Jewish rabbi Leaders/priest (main line Judaism) established well before the 10th century. These Jewish religious leaders thought to cover up the name of Yahuwah because they claim that it be to sacred to speach, and that they were afraid of people using it in blasphemy, so in order to keep people from saying or speaking his name, they made it a law that only high standard Jewish religious leaders could speak of the name of the father Yahuwah only in their secret religious gatherings. Thus it was forbidden for anyone else to say his name so the ineffable name stopped being uttered aloud, or even in quite while praying to themselves. And If one were to speak the name of Yahuwah they would even sometimes be brought to a punishment as extreme and harsh as being put to death. So because of these man made traditions the ancient Masorites which are Jewish scribes that translated the bible kept to these same ancient traditions, so in order to disguise the Heavenly Father’s Name, they then inserted titles such as "Adonai" "HaShem, which literally means (The Name)" "kurios" and other such titles. They also when they got to the Sons name "Yahushua" had changed the sound of the ‘Hey’ (which was an ‘ah’ sound) to ‘ay’ or short ‘e’ as in ebb, thus taking out the Heavenly Father’s Name "Yah" from its original meaning "Yah'uwah Is salvation" and making it simply yeshua which literally just means 'savior' or ‘Salvation’. So, the name Yeshua, or the Greek equivalent, Iesous, does not have the Heavenly Father’s Name in it at all! In fact, if you break down Iesous (Jesus) into it’s components, it means ‘The saving Zeus!’

excellent. thank you so much for sharing these wonderful, inspired and so educative videos. shalom!

Great! Thanks for sharing. Also, it's amazing how many people have posted comments just wanting to pick a fight and insist that they KNOW the true pronunciation. Totally missing the point which isn't how the name sounds but what the name means for us. It's almost as if people don't want peace and love but instead strife. Why? Anyway thanks again, very helpful.

Peronally, I feel YaHuWaH is closest, but I agree that we really just don't know yet. I think it will be made known to us soon. You have Yahudin, plus the suffix of Biblical author's name's, Mattiyahu, etc. Often, I stick to Ha'Shem, or simply Father. Enjoy your videos Jeff,

It was always YAH, as in Hallelu-YAH. The full name is pronounced like you have it, Mntman, but the Vav is changed to W in English, so no need for both in His name. The vav is the oo sound or w sound. Yahuah is Elohim our God. There is No e, the first and last consonants are continental A's (Ah).

IslandMystic I agree. I put it phonetically so people can see the Tetragrammaton represented, and to show pronunciation. This form also seems most fitting, because it includes the aspect of His Breath. BTW, digesting and thinking about your e-mail. Shalom.

Why use Ha'Shem? You call God by the name of "The Name?"

I sotac I used it at one time, because it was in common usage. I don't anymore.

@akapovsky You are assuming that "Yah" is the correct pronunciation for the two Hebrew letters יה. It is just as possible for this to be pronounced "Yih." The problem with pronunciation of Hebrew names and verbs is that they do evolve and because there were no recording devices in that time, we will never know for sure how any word or letter was originallly pronounced.

@JasonCaesare It is close, but the first letter in הוה (HWH) is a "hey," and the first letter in the name חוה (HhWH) is a "hhet."

@1manuscriptman Greek is a little more difficult than Hebrew, but I don't see why you couldn't learn one or both in a matter of a few years. Of course this depends on how much time you put into it.

Thank you for posting this excellent video. I look forward to watching your other videos and I have subscribed to your channel.

Thank you for this explanation.

Your points about the "v" are excellent and I appreciate the added insights. On my website I go into detail of why I translate this commandment as "you shall not lift up (represent) the name of Yhwh your Elohim falsely. Actually, I think that perjury would fit in with this interpretation but I wouldn't limit it to just perjury, just my opinion.

The word ashrey is derived from asher and means "happy" in the same sense of being connected. So to answer your question, there is a connection to these words that would have been understood by the original author and his readers.

Hi Jeff. Can you make a video, a comparison about Yeshua and Yahushua. Which is the more correct way to pronounce the Savior's name?

Thank you and you are welcome

@YAHWEHisperfect What exactly are you looking for?

@Angelist44 In the name Yehudah, the vav is at the end of a syllable and will therefore take a vowel sound-U, but in the name YHWH, the vav is at the beginning of a syllable and will therefore take a vowel sound consonantal sound-W. When people make assumptions about pronouncing Hebrew names, without knowing the rules of grammar and morphology, great mistakes are made.

So fascinating and thought provoking! Thank you.

Thank you !! Very insightful. We "Westerners" think in terms of equivalence--word for word, so to speak. The Hebrew language is conceptually different from Western languages, and does not seem to lend itself as well to a word for word translating process. I believe that even the Koine Greek has concepts attached to at least some of their words that require more than one word to adequately translate. I believe this leads us toward a need to balance: word for word, and thought for thought. I suspect this dilemma faces a lot of people who are responsible for 'translating' one language into another. It is not just a case of "What did he say?" but also "What is he trying to tell us?" Your explanation of the commandment regarding God's Name--that it involves how we represent Him...what is His character--is an excellent illustration.

An excellent and very correct observation. I discovered this problem I set out to make my own translation of the Hebrew. I found that no English word can fully convey the Hebrew. So I started the Mechanical Translation, which does translate each Hebrew word with an English word, but the translation is accompanied with a dictionary that will provide the full meaning of the Hebrew word behind the English.

Q#1: Are you also familiar with the various New Testament textual families (TR, Majority, 'Critical')? Q#2. If so, are there any texts--OT or NT--that have notably fewer "problems" than others?

Dan C. No, I'm sorry. I am not very familiar with NT manuscripts.

A Sriel: It is imperfect, third person, masculine, singular. The verb is הוא which is the Aramaic form of the Hebrew הוה, which is the same verb I mention in this video. Jeff

Shalom Jeff, Excellent info. as usual. What did you mean when you said the word Yahweh is not a word in Hebrew and means nothing? Did you mean it is not a name in Hebrew?

Which of your book do you recomend me to learn Hebrew?

@1manuscriptman Excellent questions. 2,000 years ago the Jews began to be influenced by Greek thought and that influence has increased until today the Jews are just as much Greek thinkers as other Westerners. You are correct that the aspect of science that requires "observation" is conducive to Hebrew thought, but the step prior to that, hypothesis, is not.

Thank you for this post.

@doctorw2 There is no way to know with certainty how Hebrew was pronounced in ancient times. There were no Tape Recorders or MP3 recorders :-). The only way we know how any Hebrew letter or word was pronounced is through tradition. I agree that there is no "J" in Hebrew, but there is no way to know for certain, but the evidence does suggest that the vav was originally pronounced as a "W" not a "V."

Cont... Besides one word with one meaning and various nuances, that word is related to a root which has other words derived from it, each with its own meaning and nuances. In addition that root is related to other roots. All of these various roots and words are interrelated. The word asher, as used in Exodus 3:14, comes from a root meaning "to connect together." The word asher, like our words which, who, what, etc. connect the first part with the second. Cont...

@mistermateriel Not on the alphabet, but its pronunciation. A dominate culture will always influence the pronunciation of certain letters. For instance, the Roman letter J was originally pronounced as a Y, but later influences created the J sound we know today.

@plesent1 Good catch :-), let me explain. The word Yahweh means nothing in Hebrew and I do not believe this was how the name was pronounced. But, I still use Yahweh much of the time as this is the name that most people are familiar with.

@sparkshot One thing I failed to mention in the video is that the pronunciation of the entire Hebrew language is dependent upon tradition, that is until a tape recording of Abraham is found :-). Therefore, any theory into the pronunciation of the name is going to be based on tradition. The point of this video is to show that the verb יהוה would be pronounced as yih'weh based on traditional Hebrew pronunciations. This is not about breathing sounds, but on standard pronunciation of words.

What you have said about using the name of YHWH in vain is beautiful and edifying and grips me with fear for I have been careless here. Thanks Please make a video on the meaning behind each Hebrew alphabet and how the books of the Bible should be pronounced in Hebrew and what the Hebrew name of the book means.

Thank you very much for this 👍 great amount of information 🦁

@Jeff I agree the 1st pronunciation is most likely lost, yet His character isn't. Yet, how did you come to the pronunciation to Yah-way from YihWeh?

Part 1 of 3 In some cultures, it is believed that if you know someone's real name you can gain power over them. You may then only tell those that you trust, thus leading to partial names, such as, YHWH being called Yah. Also, I believe that those who are to know His name will know it, one way or another. I think you hit the nail on the head when it comes to knowing what The Name means more than the pronunciation of it, as well as, with Exodus 20.7.

@ancienthebreworg it's a thorn...these books...looks like i am going to israel for some time...hiking...this strongs is so heavy...what do u recommend?

@thebuhl1126 I have never seen an attempt to put Yah in Messiah before, that's a new one. Messiah is just a Latin transliteration of the Hebrew, in the Hebrew there is no H, is meshiyakh, the kh is pronounced hard like the ch in the name Bach. Yeshua is the Aramaic form of the Hebrew Yehoshu'ah. I know many want to make that Yahoshua, but there is not evidence to support that transliteration. The Hebrew text clearly has yehoshuah. I use the Hebrew Masoretic text.

@celestialgal38 That is what some have proposed, but this video is pointing out a possible pronunciation based on the evidence.

also, what book are you using for scripture, that has the hebrew names in it, thank you....shalom

@FollowingYah It most likely would not be Yih, but either Yeh or Yah, but most likely Yah.

@1manuscriptman In my "History of Hebrew" series I go into detail about the Greek influence on the Hebrew language and culture.

That was awesome. Thanks!

BTW, very good video, would like to see part 1

@SuperBoomboon The second syllable, weh, would be pronounced the same whether the first syllable was yih or tih.

Excellent research. I heard others, they are nice, but yours gets to the real truth with logic.

the letters sound like breathing in and out with first hey breath in last hey breath out. like a breath of life. but what are the catellation notes of these letters? surely they are made to be sung as all shall praise his holy name?

Hey Jeff, Do you know of any other ancient Hebrew names that have the W sound in it, since there are many ancient Hebrew names that we use the V sound, like LeVi and DaVeed(David) among many others. I know of no ancient Hebrew names that have the W sound in it and to me this suggest that the V sound not the W sound is the correct pronunciation. Also In ancient Greek the letter V is pronounced as a W, as this is why we have the confusion we have today about the Hebrew Vav propunced as Waw
