God's personal name — YHVH — Exodus 3:13 can be defined etymologically or grammatically. Hebrew linguists believe yhvh is a form of the verb havah, meaning "to be or become."
What does "Yahveh" mean?
Joel 2:32- "And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved"
Specifically, many linguists say yhvh is a Qal imperfect third masculine singular. Following normal Hebrew grammar patterns, the vowels "a" and "e" would be added to these consonants, giving us the word "YaHVeH." This pronunciation is supported by early biblical texts in Greek that spell the name "Iaoue" (Ya-oo-eh) and "Iabe" (Yabe; there is no "v" sound in Greek).
The spelling "Yahweh" -
As he revealed it to Moses, God's full name is actually
Ehyeh asher Ehyeh — "I will be what I will be."
Ehyeh is the Qal imperfect firstperson form of the verb havah: "I will be."
God says to Moses: "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel,'Ehyeh — I will be' has sent me to you" (Exodus 3:14-15).
Ehyeh by itself is God's shortened name when he speaks of himself in the first person:
In contrast, when people refer to God in the third person, he taught them to say "Yahveh — He will be" (not "I will be").
Numbers 15:41- "I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God."
Joel 2:32- "And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved"
Psalm 68:4— "Sing to Yahweh; sing praises to His Name! Extol our Father Who rides the clouds by His Name—YAHWEH, and rejoice in front of Him!"
Read Exodus 35 & see Moses refer Thee Name to his people.
Exodus 35:1- "Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said to them, “These are the words which Yahweh has commanded, that you should do them."
Exodus 39:30- "They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it a writing, like the engravings of a signet: “HOLY TO YAHWEH"
Notes:
The Name & its Pronunciation is the Identity of G-d over various False gods & deities. Even some gods don't have titles or names, un-revealed gods.
Some Muslims claims that This can't be the name! Unfortunately Lord said this in first person, then How can this be "Can't the name"???
ReplyDeleteAllah in arabic Means god, which god?
Hubal?
Nothing says in quran or Muhamad in Hadits!
Why?
Unfortunately allah never revealed to Muhammad.
Or Muhammad allah is a mystery.
or Muhammad created a allah for his selfish needs.
or Muhammad was deceived by an EVIL spirit.
or Muhammad's allah was HUBAL, the allah of Quarish tribe, in which Muhammad was born.
So Mystery of Islam is still there!
130 Million people are just Idiots who don't even know their god.
.................................
