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)
