Here I go again with a question: I was reading the other day an info in spanish that said: (translated to english): "Even the WT admits in their publications that the name Jehovah was invented in the XV century" Anybody knows or have heard about this, since it does not cites books or magazines? Thank you. Pix.

The pronunciations "Jehovah" and "Yahweh"
By combining the vowel signs of 'Adho
•n ay' and 'Elo • him' with the four consonants of the Tetragrammaton the pronunciations Yeho •w ah' and Yehowih' were formed . The first of these provided the basis for the Latinized form "Jehova (h) ." The first recorded use of this form dates from the thirteenth century C .E . Raymundus Martini, a Spanish monk of the Dominican Order, used it in his book Pugeo Fidei of the year 1270 .S

Sure what do you expect? After all most of us are no longer speaking Hebrew but English. Now if you want so say it in Hebrew then go ahead. People will still argue about that as if pronunciation makes some sort of diifference but it does not. Nowhere do we find in scripture that mis-pronunciation or translation would be a sin. The name is translated just as the rest of the text is translated, pure and simple. And all this mumbo jumbo about trying to make it releative to LORD or GOD by matching vowel sounds with such other words or by other means does not alter the fact that the name of God is still being translated.
