in english we read from left to right, but in hebrew they read from right to left.. now the tetragrammaton yhwh (yahweh) we read god's name in the english from left to right,but is this correct?

should we not be reading the name from right to left?

if we did this the pronunciation would it not be in the opposite direction?

I adore you, Leo. Thanks again for your valuable research.

Democrat or Republican? Does it matter?

by Wonderment in

election year is approaching.

are we ready for the political campaigns?

for those who vote, does it really matter whether we vote democrat or republican?.

Robdar

I don't think there is that much difference between parties. Clinton and Obama have proven my point.

I meant that YHWH is (as far as we can tell) is an accurate transliteration of the four Hebrew letters (Yod, He , Waw (or Vav), He) and would be read right to left in Hebrew but when they are transliterated into the English language, they should be read as they would be in English from left to right as YHWH.

Here are a couple of links explaining the Hebrew Aleph Bet (alphabet) and perhaps it can help.

Well, I guess the Hebrew letters didn't post. Let me look around and see what I can find.

No, I meant that YHWH is (as far as we can tell) is an accurate tranliteration of ? ? ? ?

The four Hebrew letters (Yod ? , He ? , Waw ? and He ? ) would be read right to left in Hebrew but when they are transliterated into the English language, they should be read as they would be in English from left to right as YHWH.

The transliteration is merely a means to help us read Hebrew without knowing how to read Hebrew. There is no reason to read YHWH right to left because it is accurate as transliterated.

Of course there were. In any elite society you must have the uber elite or else what's the point?
