The motivation for groups like this is "we know things that others don't," a key influence tactic for cults or high-demand groups. Thank you, Dan, for clarifying.
I would definitely notice Elvish, the scripts are both very different looking. I might possibly mistake some styles of Tengwar for Arabic, but I'd only mistake Cirth for some form of Futhark, which is perfectly reasonable because they were based on them.
I appreciate this video as I have some friends who are in the "Hebrew Roots" and the amount of times they're using so many different variations of the divine name, or refusing to use the name Jesus (only referring to him as Yeshua) is astounding.
They also ignore that the historical Jesus most likely didnt have a Hebrew name too, but an Aramaic name. They want so bad to be Jewish but they won't admit that it makes no sense that the Nt was written in Greek and that todays Chrisitianity is a hellenised religion which split with Jewish Christianity. They are searching for an identity which makes sense but ignore the obvious
@@JopJio What compounds the problem even more is they're often adamant that the NT was composed in Hebrew instead of Greek. Once they've gone there, it's almost impossible to convince them that they're wrong.
@@stevenalexander6713 @JopJio Who told you that Christians want to be Jewish?! I've never, not once heard such. They must only say that in Jewish circles. Which would figure.
@@russellestes1764 😂Along with millions of other Christians. When a religion divides into 1400+ different sects, how can anyone claim to be true and hold all others as heretics? Every religion in the world has groups of people all pointing at other groups and shouting "heretic" and "shun the non-believers." It's hilarious.
We have two religions, Christianity and Judaism, that don't know how to pronounce the name of their God. Yet, they will tell you that they got all minor details right and the most important thing ie who God is, they have no clue. Really weird.
Keep up the good work Dan. Your content is always interesting, concise, and backed with scholarly authority. Why So many Christians fear truth remains a mystery to me
If Mr. McClellan did this in front of a live studio audience, he would say, “This is...” and then the audience would shout “Pure and Utter Nonsense.” How great! This channel is one of the better things RU-vid does.
The wildest thing to me about all these guys who think everyone but them pronounces God’s name wrong is like, if there were a divine, all knowing, all powerful, always present God, he’d know if you were talking to him… he’d know what you meant… and I don’t think he’d care
Reminds me of the time I was studying clasical greek and (ignorantly) tried to tell someone Eureka meant "Good" -something, because Eu is a prefix that means good. Totally wrong root. Knowing just enough to get you into trouble.
The name yhwh is lost. We cant be sure about the meaning, the full name with diacritic marks and the pronunciation. And God in the bible has many names. Abraham, Jacob and Isaac knew a different name or names. The Nt doesn't value the name too
@@2besavedcom-7 Exodus 6 3" i appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name YHWH I did not make myself known to them" The name anyways was never forever. And yes, its a false prophecy. We don't know the meaning, the pronunciation or the full name. And yes Yhwh lied in the bible too
@@2besavedcom-7 Exodus 6 3 is not a question. The question Mark was added by the translators. And the name is lost. We don't know the full name, meaning or pronunciation. It makes also no sense to be a question, since God says he appeared to the them with a different name: Ex 6 3: *I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty,*...but by my name the LORD I did not make myself known to them
Yusuf Ben MatithYahu (Josephus to scholars) said the Name was 4 vowels on the golden headpiece worn by the Kohen ha Gadol. People are finding Truth like this all over the Internet. There is only one Alahim, He has only one Name, YAHUAH (yod-hay-uau-hay as read from right-to-left in the Eberith script). It can be phonetically uttered in Latin letters as YAHUAH (H3068). He gives evidence of His true Name 6,823 times in the TaNaK, and declares Yahuah is His "memorial" to all generations. YashaYahu (Is.) 42:8 says, "I am Yahuah; that is My Name, and I do not give My esteem to another, nor My praise to idols." - In no place did Yahuah tell us we can consider the names He inspired in His perfect Word to be equivalent to the names we are being programmed with by false teachers. They are false teachers because they teach falsehoods. The Name of our Creator was literally wiped-clean from the most popular Scripture translations. #YahuahIsYahusha

I love your last comment. I was thinking the same thing. So, the Vav. The ancient pronunciation, did it file the Sephardic w or the Ashkenazi v that modern Hebrew uses?
I know the KJV tries to use LORD in small capitals as a way to say, "Adonai, but not just Adonai," whenever the tetragrammaton is used. I don't know how accurate or consistent it is, but it tries.
Wait - so there's no "E" sound in the HEbrew language, which was spoken by the people IsraEl? The same people who also call their god El-Elyon? As well as Elohim? And who call acts of charity TzEdakah? And the same people where the observant men among them will say each morning "ModEh Ani"? The funny part about that last one is that Hebrew is a gendered language, so in the "Modeh Ani" prayer, the only difference between the male version and the female version is the word "Modeh", which in this context means "to give thanks". When a woman says that verb, she says "ModAh".
@@zevsero9170 Thank you for the correction! Now that I think of it, I'm not sure I've ever seen "Tzedakah" written in Hebrew characters complete with nikud! I'm trying to develop my Hebrew skills, so I appreciate you sharing this :)
I wish I'd found your channel earlier, I have a young friend that got caught up with those sort of videos. I tried telling/showing her but she eventually blocked me, I keep praying that something will wake her up from it, it's very cult like where they are right and everyone else is wrong 😢😢
The Son of God's name can be pronounced in Aramaic as: "Yeshua [יֵשוּעַ]" (Syr. Pron.) or "Isho [יִשוֹע]" (Assyrian/Chaldean Pronunciation). Yeshua is of Hebrew origin & can mean: "salvation" - from the similarly spelled Hebrew word: YESHUAH (FS) [יְשוּעָה] "salvation." Otherwise, Yeshua is also the short SPELLING [form] of the Hebrew name YEHOSHUA [יְהוֹשוּעַ] (Joshua - KJV Pron.) & could be defined by its full spelling. YEHOSHUA means: "Yeho is Salvation." It's a combination [merging] of TWO Hebrew words: "Yeho" [Divine Name Var. Pron.] & "salvation." The first "Y" & the final "H" of the second word were eliminated. Nevertheless, the beginning "YE" of the second word is still kind of present in the first word - in the beginning pronunciation of the 3 Letters of the Divine Name. Jews sometimes pronounce Yeshua's name irreverently as: "Yeshu [יֵשוּ]." It’s an acronym for: “May His Name & His Memory Be BLOTTED OUT (Erased).” From: “YIM-MAKH SHEMO VEZIC-RO [יִמַּח שְמוֹ וְזִכרוֹ].”
That is so embarrassing. I’m a pronomian Christian. Which I get lumped with the Hebrew Rooters. It would be nice if they’d just stop and find good scholars and not internet junkies
Several years ago when I briefly delved into the Hebrew Roots movement, this shit was rampant. Everyone getting their panties in a knot trying to properly pronounce the name of the Israelite god.
@@davidbarber3821 yes I see no fault in that, and scholars have sought to find the original pronunciation, which based on our understanding of the language, is believed to be Yahweh. However, Hebrew Roots adherents dismiss all of it as just pagan garbage and they think they know better.
@ChristianCarrizales True of course they can't be certain but with the linguistic knowledge of the different texts & and other semetic languages, the odds are fairly good they hv the correct pronunciation I was really addressing why the name is important to followers
Here we go again, so let’s do this proper, if we are talking specifically about “this” god and not a former Mesopotamian god Enki (Sumer), Ea (Akkadian), Ia (Ebla) or Yah(phonecia) but a different god, we can declare this god by name as one literally defined by the Egyptian vernacular protosiniatic. Which is consistent with a SW Arabian, Araravah/Seir, Sin identity origins. We cannot however define its origins, just what the letters encoded in this ancient language. Yod (middle Egyptian hieroglyph = pair of reeds) --> Yad “hand” in protosiniatic This letter is not in old Egyptian and may have been imported with the Hyksos. Yad then becomes the phonecian 𐤉, which depending on where you stand it could take on many meanings. heh / Hillul means window or jubilation. 𐤄 in phonecian, in the Egyptian heiroglyphics it appears to be derived from the merger of “hayt” (thread symbol) and Hillul (jubilation, man with upstretched arms) and “hasir” (court symbol) In phonencian the hayt and hasir were merged to form “heth” (fence). Whereas the hillul is replaced by “he” (window), these three forms were used to express the uvular, glottal and pharyngeal h sound. So the first part of the name might mean something like singing reeds or ecstatic hands. I happen to think it means Ia or Enki. I think the use of the jubilation symbol was important for the original name. The Vav symbol. The letter likely originated with an Egyptian hieroglyph which represented the word mace (transliterated as ḥḏ, hedj), it was symbolic of power. But the Egyptian Wau also means baby quail. One of the ways of representing the quail was by a coiled “hook”. By the time it reaches Hebrew it means “hook” as it means to day. What is the meaning of this mace/hook/power jubilation/thread/fence. And so I think the jubilation term is repeated because it is insistent on the first used in YH. In this case exalted. So if I am correct about the first it means exalted wisdom or craftiness. Yahweh was a trickster god like Enki and also an all knowing god (except when he didn’t know, like Genesis 2). I think the second term is Exalted power/strength, it could however be an exaltation of another god from Arabia, wadd. “There is evidence from Minaean inscriptions of the presence of Levites in the temple of Wadd who according to some scholars were either as priests or cult servants who could later be promoted to higher positions.” “lt was the statue of a huge man, as big as the largest of human beings, covered with two robes, clothed with the one and cloaked with the other, carrying a sword on his waist and a bow on his shoulder, and holding in [one] hand a spear to which was attached a standard, and [in the other] a quiver full of arrows.” The god emerged with Sa’ani separatist in the 6th century and may have been a remnant of a god of people captured and enslaved by Sa’ani. The people who followed Wadd were major traders “Inscriptions found in Qanāwu mention a number of major caravan stations along the trading route, including Yathrib (Medina) and Gaza” and so they fit the bill of nomadic peoples related to those who gave rise to Yahweh. The war god quality fits wadd, well, with Yah taking the craftsman/wisdom role. Yahweh
I find it interesting that the Arabic word for "He", transliterated into English is "Huwa". If this is preceded with the word "Ya", a vocative particle, as with "Ya Huwa". it becomes O, He! or O, He is! God identified Himself to Moses as "I Am", His relationship to Himself. If we keep in mind our relationship to God, we might say "He is". Thus "Ya Huwa", in Arabic at least, may be closely related to both the pronunciation and meaning of YHWH, "O, He is!", a praise of God. In Persian, which lacks the Arabic W and uses V in its place, it becomes "Ya Hova".
“The silver 'British Museum drachm', known since 1814, but with unknown provenance. It was probably struck by the Persian administration in Israel in the first quarter of the 4th century BCE. The coin shows a deity seated on a winged wheel, often interpreted as a depiction of Yahweh (Yahu).”
i still find it utterly blasphemous when people try to make assertions about "the language of God" or something like that. why would God even be tied down by something as lowly as human language?
@@JopJio Even though in other cases they are considered as two separate names, that is only in regard to writing them, but not in regard to pronouncing them.
I salute Dan’s courage. When I hear nonsense produced with effort by a person who speaks neither Hebrew, nor Aramaic, nor Greek, my head bends and my hand covers my face. I know that in the United States, access to affordable education is almost non-existent. His delusion could be alleviated if he knew how to speak more than English or read books written by serious academics.
I actually think "w" should be classified as a vowel if going by actual sound 🔊 mechanics, rather than pointless tradition. You can easily say it continuously and smoothly change tone while saying it alone. On that note, you clearly can say the consonants on their own. They just sound weird. You can tell if you try it.
Is there even any way to actually know how the name was pronounced in the time period that the Torah claims the events of say, for instance, the Exodus occured? It seems to me we wouldn't have any sure way of knowing, but I'm no expert.
We been fighting against these pseudo linguists claim of waw pronounced uau ... I claim they think it's that bc they dnt understand what a furtive pathach, such as ruach
Whatever his name was, he isn't that guy's god. He's these other people's god, he said so himself. Jeremiah 7: 22 "For when I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did not just give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices, 23 but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you." I'm afraid that guy's gonna have to find himself another god. Fortunately, there's no shortage, the list is practically endless.
It is actually possible to create a word Yahuah with a hataf-patah (cf. Eloah = God). I'm not suggesting though that this would be a better guess than Yahweh (which is also a guess).
That’s not a hataf patah (which is really just a fancy kind of sh’wa, and thus can’t come at the end of a word, nor can it come immediately after a vowel. What you’re referring to is a “stolen patah” which only ever comes with a heh, heth, or ayin, at the end of a word, and is pronounced before its consonant instead of after. So yes, in principle that _could_ be a shuruk followed by a hard heh with a stolen patah, and you would have a word pronounced more or less like that guy does it, but then the H at the end could not be silent, it would have to be pronounced
@@davidbarber3821 I prefer “stolen”, which is what גנובה means. Why use an obscure word that isn’t even an accurate translation just because some 18th-century Englishman chose it?
@@davidbarber3821 Yes, I know the English academic books use it. I’m asking you why we should care. Just because they all use an obscure word that is not in anyone’s normal working vocabulary and isn’t even an accurate translation, why should you or I do the same? They do it only because some Englishman in the 18th century chose the word and they’re his professional successors. But they don’t own the language- either language! And I’m neither English nor an academic. Never even visited Oxford _or_ Cambridge. So I don’t care for their conventions. It’s not as if that is the technical term. The term is not “furtive”, it’s גנובה. And every speaker of both languages knows that גנובה means “stolen”
I really don't think Saturn cares what you call it. But if your God is a war God, enjoy. I personally choose Aries as my head. Each to their own tho. VESTIGES OF THE SPIRIT📖 for Saturn context.
Hi Dan. Would it be possible to share how the tetragramaton would be pronounced without saying it? Maybe rhyme or broken up syllables? I know speaking it in full is inappropriate in some groups, thus "adonai", which I can respect. but I'm intensely curious what a solar thinks the word sounded like
@@davidbarber3821 that's not helpful either. Even if you are using only English phonetics, is the a as in cat or father? Which e is it? Is the h voiced or not? Is the w like weather or Wagner? What duration is each syllable? Glottal stops? Rising, falling, or flat intonation? Emphasis? Sounds that aren't even in English, Germanic, or romance languages? Did even pronounce all letters, or were some dropped? During which time period, which region? This is why I wanted an expert opinion
This poor notebook guy seems so convinced that he's discovered something important - something that will presumably buttress very particular religious beliefs - that he's afraid to present it to actual experts before blasting it out on social media. Or maybe he just has a very gullible following.
Also -I feel silly for not thinking about this earlier, but wasn't the whole point with God's name that _you aren't supposed to say it out loud?_ That was a thing, right?
"Juannie" bruce, Baruch Hashem transliterates to Bruce (h)agios Hasham, I am who I am, "yuaNi" 🥰 even yeshuah is Yeha + shu, Joshua + Yehanan = I AM gracious salvation. Yehovah and yahveh both make YhVh when you remove vowels. Yohanan and Yehanan ❤ John the Baptist was crucified and Juan was glorified giving rise to my servant from the grave, jehohanan ben Hagkol the living representation of how the covenant "10 commandments" were crucified by religion. This is just a piece of my heart, but Jesus (yeho + sus from romans later turning into jehosus or jesus after rome and europe) is supposed to be the body of the apostles and prophets, Elijah and the 12 minor and John and the 12 Apostles. People were persecuted and killed for following I AM WHO I AM and the 10 commandments and not kings of the world" ezra transliterates to zerah the scarlet prince, zera + Esther = Zoroaster he reformed the Middle east after the judges. Joshua and judges + prophets + apostles
