JHWH

The NAME of the only true God !

The Hebrew name JHWH is written over 6800 times in the 37 holy books of the Tanakh ( Old Testament )

 

Tetragrammaton - Glazed clay tablet

 

In Exodus 3:11-15, JAHOWAH God reveals Himself to Moses in a burning bush.

After Moses asks JAHOWAH what his NAME is, God reveals his NAME.

Then God sends Moses to the Israelites with the words:

 

He also said to Moses,

Tell them:

JAHOWAH has sent me,

the God of your ancestors,

the God of Abraham,

the God of Isaac,

the God of Jacob

and this is what He said:

"That's what I want to be called forever,

and with THAT NAME I want to be called

by all future generations."

Exodus 3:15

 

Incense Altar - Exodus 30 ( Replica )

 

"...For from there where the Sun rises

to there where its going down,

my NAME shall be great among the Gentiles:

in every place incense shall

be offered unto My NAME,

and a pure offering;

for My NAME shall be great among the nations,";

saith JHWH of Hosts.

A part of Malachi 1:11

On the previous page I already mentioned that the Hebrew name of God is JHWH.

Unfortunately is the Holy NAME of the only true God in the most Bibles translated with LORD.

But LORD is a title and not a name.

But, how do you pronounce JHWH, and what is the meaning of the holy name?

Before continuing about how to pronounce the holy NAME of the creator a

 

WARNING!

 

I want to show the third of the Ten Commandments where it says that nobody may use Gods NAME unwurthy:

 

Thou shalt not abuse the name JHWH of thy God;

for JHWH will not hold him guiltless that abuses his name.

Exodus 20 verse 7

 

JHWH said to Mozes and the Israelites in the Thora ( = first 5 books of the Old Testament ):

Who blasphemeth the name JHWH,

shall surely be put to death ...

Leviticus 24:16

 

To begin with I will insert a picture of the holy NAME in Hebrew.

Hebrew square writing of the Tetragrammaton.

 

The above painting shows God's name in Hebrew writing. Hebrew is written from right to left, with only consonants.

What you see here are the consonants J H W H or Y H W H.

JHWH is the Tetragrammaton, the way Gods Holy name is written.

 

Listen, O Israel; JHWH, our God,

is one JHWH,

And thou shalt love JHWH, thy God,

with all thy heart,

and with all thy soul,

and with all thy strength.

Deuteronomy 6:4

 

The JAH in JAHOWAH is pronounced like the the Jah in Halleluja / Hallelujah ( which in Herbrew means "praise Jah" ).

The JAH is an abbriviation of JAHOWAH.

 

The O in JAHOWAH should be pronounced as the o in Adhonai ( LORD ), Elohim ( God ) and cola.

 

Wah ( the last part of JAHOWAH ) is coming from the Hebrew verb "ha-wah", which means become and are.

The A should be pronounced as the a in Jah.

 

And those who know Your NAME, shall trust you:

because You, JHWH,

will not forsake those that seek You.

Psalms 9:10

God is my savior.

I have a firm confidence,

I don't falter

for Jah Jahowah is my strength,

He is my protector,

He has brought me salvation.

Isaiah 12 verse 2
