“Yahweh, name for the God of the Israelites, representing the biblical pronunciation of “YHWH,” the Hebrew name revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus. The name YHWH, consisting of the sequence of consonants Yod, Heh, Waw, and Heh, is known as the tetragrammaton.

After the Babylonian Exile (6th century BCE), and especially from the 3rd century BCE on, Jews ceased to use the name Yahweh for two reasons. As Judaism became a universal rather than merely a local religion, the more common Hebrew noun Elohim (plural in form but understood in the singular), meaning “God,” tended to replace Yahweh to demonstrate the universal sovereignty of Israel’s God over all others. At the same time, the divine name was increasingly regarded as too sacred to be uttered; it was thus replaced vocally in the synagogue ritual by the Hebrew word Adonai (“My Lord”), which was translated as Kyrios (“Lord”) in the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Hebrew Scriptures.”

Well there it is folks. The Jews are indeed associated with this name ‘Yahweh’ and therefore the suggestion that the name ‘Yahweh’ means ‘Perverter’ fits like a glove doesn’t it? Isn’t it interesting how any similar spelling auto-corrects to ‘Yahweh’? What is also quite interesting about this entry is that it is plainly admitted that the true name ‘Elohim’ was too sacred to be uttered and thus we can see the beginning of concealing things from the plebs that the priesthood has consistently maintained. More importantly, we have a very simple definition of ‘Elohim’: plural in form but understood in the singular; two acting in concert as one. Sounds like Father and Son to me!

So, we therefore have the name we are really looking for don’t we? ‘Elohim’!

Or do we?

Thus, we can now understand the real meaning of the following verse of scripture so commonly misconstrued:

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:” Deuteronomy 6:4 KJV

‘Elohim’. Plural understood as one, or united in concert and purpose. Father and Son = one Lord.

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ (anointed One)? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.” 1John 2:22-24 KJV (brackets mine)

From Britannica:

“The Masoretes, who from about the 6th to the 10th century CE worked to reproduce the original text of the Hebrew Bible, added to “YHWH” the vowel signs of the Hebrew words Adonai or Elohim. Latin-speaking Christian scholars replaced the Y (which does not exist in Latin) with an I or a J (the latter of which exists in Latin as a variant form of I). Thus, the tetragrammaton became the artificial Latinized name Jehovah(JeHoWaH). As the use of the name spread throughout medieval Europe, the initial letter J was pronounced according to the local vernacular language rather than Latin.”

This is the tricky business of which David Andrew speaks. We are presented with the assertion that ‘Yahweh’ became ‘Jehovah’, yet it would easily make more sense that ‘Yahvah’ became ‘Jehovah’. That is to say that the ending of ‘Jehovah’ is more evidence of ‘Yahvah’ than ‘Yahweh’. As ‘Yahweh’ is what the Jews use we can probably dismiss it straight off the bat as perversion.

Now, thanks must be given to a conversation with a fellow that provided an interesting statement:

There are many proper names in the Old Testament affixed with yhv (yeho- or -yahu), and yhvh is the very name of God, which is known from inscriptions dated c. 830 BC. The Hebrew derivation of yhv is unclear, and scholars have suggested that it may have a non-Israelite origin, with some seeking meanings in Aramaic or Arabic or Egyptian. Although Sanskrit sources, where the same term is found with exactly the connotations appropriate to the biblical usage, have rarely been considered. Why did the followers of Abraham and Moses refer to their god as Yahweh? The evidence from Hebrew language seems rather slight. There was inter-marriage between Egyptian and Vedic cultures. 

More importantly, Yahvah, the name of the God in the Judaic tradition, occurs as an epithet for Agni in the Rigveda a total of 21 times (yahva in RV 10.110; yahvah in RV 3.1, 3.5, 4.5, 4.7, 4.58, 5.1, 7.6, 7.8, 9.75, 10.11; yahvam in RV 1.36; 3.3; 4.5; 5.16; 8.13; 10.92; yahvasya in RV 3.2 and 3.28). Indus ideas on writing may thus have, through the agency of the powerful Mitanni kingdom of Syria, been influential in the various Semitic traditions of the second and first millennia BC.  

Meaning of Sanskrit word “yahva” [1]

a.{a-stem}1. great; 2. active

meanings of “yahva” [2]

m.{a-stem}1. an employer of priests for sacrifices

meanings of “yahva” [3]

f.du.{a-stem}1. an epithet of heaven and earth; 2. of night of day; 3. of morning and evening

Yehovah is undoubtedly the same as the Chaldean Yahve and vedic Yahvah…

More from Strong’s about ‘Yah’:

“Yah: the name of the God of Israel

Original Word: יָהּ
Part of Speech: Proper Name
Transliteration: Yah
Phonetic Spelling: (yaw)
Definition: the name of the God of Israel

NAS Exhaustive Concordance

Word Origin
contr. from Yhvh
Definition
the name of the God of Israel
NASB Translation
GOD (1), LORD (49).”

“Lord is an appellation for a person or deity who has authority, control, or power over others, acting as a master, a chief, or a ruler.^[1][2] The appellation can also denote certain persons who hold a title of the peerage in the United Kingdom, or are entitled to courtesy titles. The collective “Lords” can refer to a group or body of peers.”

So, the basic meaning of this is that ‘LORD’ is just a generic term or title. It signifies nothing specific until we make it do so, for example: ‘Our LORD Jesus Christ’. Nor is it a name. Yet, there it is stuck into ‘The Bible’. How did it get there? Yet, it is disingenuous as it is not specific. Worse, it possibly has legal implications being in all capital letters. As for ‘God’ it no doubt has political ramifications as it is regularly used in constitutional documents to mean several possible deities for various differing faiths; ‘God’ as a term is kind of like an all-you-can-eat buffet where you can have it whatever way you like and apparently it’s all good, equal, fair and nice. However, as ‘God’ is not actually a name and signifies nothing specific but is understood as a generic name for politically equivalent and interchangeable deities of various faiths then for example ‘The LORD God’ doesn’t really mean anything though just about everybody might think they have a firm idea of exactly who or what this ‘LORD God’ is. Ask them to explain it with any clarity and they will probably muddle out some drivel, or take you on a trip to who knows where that would of course be vastly different to somebody else’s trip. It would almost be like asking people to give you an account of a car crash. You’d wind up with a different story for each person yet supposedly each one would pertain to the same event.

“Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?” Proverbs 30:4 KJV

Folks, can one really understand the Scriptures if one doesn’t understand the ‘Elohim’; Father and Son? Furthermore, if you wouldn’t respond when someone else were calling you by the wrong name would the ‘Elohim’ respond if you weren’t using their right names? So, the next time somebody has a question or demonstrates basic confusion about who ‘God’ is the apostle Paul sets it out:

“For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” 1 Corinthians 8:5,6 KJV

So, is that all sorted then?

No. There’s more:

“The prefix YAH is an abbreviation of Yahowah, the name of Elohim. The Bible makes great use of this short form. “Sha” means “Saves“, “saviour“. The whole name signifies “Yahu is salvation” or that “Yahowah Saves”. Miryam and Yoceph spoke Hebrew, not English or French. They gave Him a Hebrew name, Yahowsha, not Jesus. There is no J in Hebrew. All English speakers know that there was no J even in the English language until recently; 400 years, which is why they used to say Iesu. J is from the letter I. In the 1600’s they began to replace I by J at the beginning of a word. They got their J from French/German which borrowed it from Latin. It became a standard replacement for Y. We advise you to consult the many different encyclopaedias. The word Jesus is from the Greek Iesous (could be the name of a Greek god or where Greek placeholders were placed to tell the reader to insert and say (Yahowsha). The Latin speakers first rendered it as Iesus. Aramaic speakers rendered it Yeshua meaning “may his name and memory be obliterated, void of the Yahu the shorted form of the name of Yahowah completely missing Yahowah’s point of Yahowah Saves, Yahowsha.

Yahowah did not give His name to Moses as Adoni/Lord. Lord is a title, not a name; just like the word GOD is not a name. There are all kinds of GODS, and each one has their own name. This is why Moses said to Him, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The Elohim (god) of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?”, for the God of Egypt had a name; the God of the Canaanites had a name, too. “Which God sent you, Moshe? Ammon, Anubis, Nimrod, Zeus?” So Elohim spoke to Moses in Hebrew and told him, “You shall tell them YAHOWAH sent me.” 

Many translators, knowing that you cannot translate only transliterate that blessed name of Elohim have wisely decided to keep the original name as it was given. No encyclopedia or dictionary will tell you that the Hebrews called Him Jehovah (which is purely a Britannic term; HOVAH means mischief, see Strong Concordance #1953 ), or Lord, the English translation for Baal and the title of England’s monarchical masters.

Very simply, let those who are intelligent ask themselves this, “If the name was too “ineffable” to be pronounced, why did Yahowah say to Moshe, ‘Tell them, My name is Yahowah. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations?” (Ex. 3:15). In Chapter 6 He further appeared to Moshe and said, “I am Yahowah. I appeared to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, as Elohim Shaddai, but by My name Yahowah I was not known to them,” (or was I not known to them). And why in Numbers 6:22-27, He told Moshe to tell Aaron and his sons to always bless the children of Israel in this way, “Yahowah bless you and keep you; Yahowah makes His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; Yahowah lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.‘ So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.“ Isn’t that amazing? Today’s priests refuse to put Yahowahs’ name on Israel. No wonder our people are being overrun by enemies on all sides.” from “Why Do We Say Yahowah and Yahowsha?”

Finally, from a recent exchange:

“God tells us to know his name, tell our brethren of his name, proclaim his name, exalt his name, pray in his name, so as to be saved by his name. He says only one name saves. And let me know if you wanna see the verse that says if you don’t know God’s name, you’re not part of his family. He told us his name 7000 times. It’s either important to him or he is verbose. Whether you find it important or not simply doesn’t matter. Truth is never popular. I don’t care how you receive it.

“V” is a Rabbinical corruption. We KNOW his name because the root (Howah) forms THOUSANDS of Hebrew words and names. If “Yahowah” is wrong, the entire Hebrew language is wrong. What is annoying is the arrogance of people which, are linguistically illiterate and don’t know the difference between a WORD and a NAME. The Lamb, Father, Son, Messiah are all words or titles but not names. There is a huge difference. Names do not change with language. My name is “Shane” in every language on planet Earth. It doesn’t matter whether He knows all the names and languages. His name doesn’t change. Even the first KJV didn’t contain the name “Jesus”. Last time I checked, only one name saves.

His name wasn’t, isn’t and never will be “Jesus”. Thats impossible and thus STUPID. The letter “J” was INVENTED IN THE 16TH CENTURY. t’s a straightforward question from God (Proverbs 30:4). He asks what is his name and the name of his son. The point is that perhaps people shouldn’t proclaim “Jesus drops the veil and we will see in his timing” when they don’t even know God’s name. God tells us his name 7000 times in his message to mankind. Words do not get any clearer than “I am Yahowah. That is my name.” The Son had to come in His name to fulfil prophecy. “Yahowsha” is his son. The first time Jesus was ever written was 1629.” Shane Coombs

“For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many), But to us there is but one God, the Father Yahowah, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Yahowsha the Anointed, by whom are all things, and we by him.” 1 Corinthians 8:5,6 KJV (edit mine)
