    I found a very interesting video by a jewish biblical scholar about how to correctly pronounce Jehovah. It's not Yahweh as other scholars claim.

    Gordon's theory is a mix of conspiracy (along with the typical dismissal of established scholarship) and a bit of showmanship in a digital age. He makes factual errors, ignores the extensive disconfirming evidence, uncritically accepts the folk etymology of Ex 3 and mocks the efforts of those more qualified.

    In short, the name, YHWH or YH is ancient, predating it's adoption by Judah and Israel, it's original meaning possibly "blow", or "jealous" from an Arabic root HWY. Its pronunciation changed along with the languages in which it was used. The very exhaustively researched conclusion regarding the number of syllables and basic vowel sounds is that 'Yah" and 'Yahweh' are reasonable approximations for much of the time period in which the Bible was written. Regional cognates in Arabic, Samaritan, Egyptian, Ethiopic, Assyrian, Babylonian, Coptic, Greek support the Yahweh pronunciation.

    yah way

    hey hey

    Papa answers when He is called on in truth

    he causes to become what is necessary for the situation

    sometimes he gives us what we need to endure instead of taking the trial away right away

    scholars are dumb sometimes

    they can't see the forest for the trees

    but a little kid (or those with a little kid heart) can see

    the obvious

    Jehovah is His name

    or you can say Yahweh

    or whatever it is in your language

    baby

    (it's not the pronunciation that matters)
