I have been fascinated with the Name of God since I learned in high school that He gave His name to Moses at the burning bush. I had read "Jehovah" in the King James version I grew up with, but learned, "Yahweh, " in the Catholic school I had entered.

In recent years, I've seen a video interview of a young Jewish scholar who has rabbis in his family going back to the Middle Ages. He shared that yearly, a senior rabbi takes a pupil to a river and pronounces "The Name" as part of the students' training: "Yehovah."

I have a copy of "The Companion Bible, " and wondered why its compiler and commentator, E.W. Bullinger, retained "Jehovah, " although he was an expert at Hebrew. The young Jewish scholar gave me a strong clue.

So, at this stage of my journey, I hold onto "Jehovah, " " Yahweh, " and "Yehovah, " as the Divine Name. The meaning of "The Name" is even more profound. Likely, you addressed it in a teaching, so I subscribed.

Thank you for sharing this teaching with us.

Praise The Lord, Hallelujah Hallelujah, thank you brother for teaching the meaning of the word Hallelujah.
May I please request a prayer for the Christians in India 🇮🇳 in the State of Punjab. The Bible and the people are under heavy attack 😢. Other religion is mocking and making fun of the Holy word Hallelujah. Please pray. Thank you 🙏✝️

The name of the true God is JEHOVAH as clearly stated at Psalm 83:18 and it means “He cause’s to become”. What a fitting name for the creator. It originally appears (represented by the Tetragrammaton) about 7, 000 times in the original text of the Hebrew Scriptures. One of the reasons it has been removed is because it was thought to be too sacred to utter.

I already know the answer, but I really like the way you spelled it out and taught me the Hebrew behind it. Beautiful

[AndyBuckwalter]

Really well done! Thanks for that breakdown. I've heard this word my entire life and never truly understood it. Excellent video

I ask my Christian visitors, "Do you remember your Gospel narrative, that when Christ was supposed to have been on the cross, he cried out with a loud voice:
"ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI? which is, being interpreted, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34).
The above is a translation from the Greek manuscripts "ACCORDING TO ST. MARK." Obviously his Hebrew has a Greek accent. Because, his so-called originals were written in Greek. But listen to Matthew, who is supposed to have written his Gospel originally in Hebrew, which was aimed at the Jews. St. Jerome, an early Christian father of the 4th and 5th centuries after Christ, testifies as follows:
"MATTHEW, WHO IS ALSO LEVI, AND WHO FROM A PUBLICAN CAME TO BE AN APOSTLE, FIRST OF ALL THE EVANGELISTS, COMPOSED A GOSPEL OF CHRIST IN JUDEA IN THE HEBREW LANGUAGE AND CHARACTERS, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THOSE OF THE CIRCUMCISION WHO HAD BELIEVED."
Naturally, Matthew's accent would be more Semitic (Hebrew and Arabic) than that of Mark. Matthew records the same scene as Mark 15:34, but note the variation of the dialect:
Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI? that is to say, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me'? (Matthew 27:46).
Please memorize the words - "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani." (Eli - pronounced like L and I in English) Utter the words - ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI; ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI, to your Christian friends and neighbors and ask them whether these words - "Eli, Eli, " sounds like "Jehovah, Jehovah!" to them? No! is the answer if they are not deaf. Ask further, whether "Eli, Eli, " sounds like "Abba, Abba!" (meaning father, father! in Hebrew) to them! Again the reply will be "No!" if they are not deaf. Can't they see that the cry is to Allah? "Eli, Eli - Elah, Elah, Allah, Allah!" Let them hear these words from your lips and watch their reactions. No honest person can help agreeing with you.
ALLELUYA!
Now ask your Christian friend, if he had heard the word - "ALLELUYA." No Christian worth the name will fail to recognize it. Whenever the Christian goes into ecstasy, he exclaims - "Alleluya! Alleluya!", just as we Muslims might exclaim the Takbir - "Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!" Ask him, what is Alleluya? Take him to the Book of Revelation, the last book of the New Testament, Chapter 19; we are informed there that John the disciple of Jesus, saw a vision, in which, why hast thou forsaken me'? (Matthew 27:46).
Please memorize the words - "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani." (Eli - pronounced like L and I in English) Utter the words - ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI; ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI, to your Christian friends and neighbors and ask them whether these words - "Eli, Eli, " sounds like "Jehovah, Jehovah!" to them? No! is the answer if they are not deaf. Ask further, whether "Eli, Eli, " sounds like "Abba, Abba!" (meaning father, father! in Hebrew) to them! Again the reply will be "No!" if they are not deaf. Can't they see that the cry is to Allah? "Eli, Eli - Elah, Elah, Allah, Allah!" Let them hear these words from your lips and watch their reactions. No honest person can help agreeing with you.
ALLELUYA!

Let us repeat the above Tasbih (words of praise) as an Arab or a Jew: ALLE-LU-YA will be YA-ALLE-LU because, as explained above, YA is always at the beginning in both Arabic and Hebrew.
YA ALLE LU would be YA ALLA HU: Meaning, "OH ALLAH!" (You are the Only Being Who deserves worship and Praise) "OH ALLAH!" (You are the Only Being Who deserves worship and Praise).
Unbiased Christians will not fail to recognize Allah as none other than his - El, Eli, Alle, Elah, Alah, Allah. Call upon Him by any name, for His are the Most Beautiful names, as long as those names are not contaminated and as long as they do not conjure up in our minds the images of men or monkeys howsoever glorified they might have been

I love Hebrew or Bible Greek word studies+++

[mattparksmusic]

This is a great definition! Thank you for the help.

[myibmaccount]

Thanks for posting this Mario. Very thorough explanation. Regarding your Ask at the end I will bend the rules a bit and add the Name Jesus. The meaning behind His name invites people to learn more about why He came, who He is, and opens a space for discipleship.

[josephnazareth]

Very Nice Explanation, felt I went back in time !!!

[stphenandrewofficial]

All Praise and Honor and Glory to Abba Yehovah our Elohim. Praise Yeshua our master and savior who is the Son of Yehovah and died to pay my death penalty for transgressing the Torah.
