the leningrad codex has "w" not "v." semitic languages predates german language that has influenced the pronunciation of "w" into "v." so i can believe this teaching. bless you for going back in time to make the case for "waw" and yet not making a big ado, just the fact that now modern hebrew uses "vav" like israel hebrew does.
Thank you so much for this video!!! It clarified so much for me. I heard it once said, " You can be 100% convinced of a matter, and turn out to be 100% wrong." I believe this to be very true in this case. I bought into the "V" sound theory for a long time, but am now convinced that I was 100% wrong. I thank GOD for His mercy, for GOD is good and His MERCY ENDURES forever! 😊 Shalom, Lee Anne
There are many synchronic parallel examples of shifting from "u/w" to "ü" and finally "i/y". Considering the cognate tri-consonantal roots between Arabic and Hebrew, the primary sound should have been "u/w". In Greek, the change was split into two: u > ü > i (vowel shift), u > w > v (consonantization). However, I myself read the Hebrew scriptures and siddur with "v" because it is the way the modern standard Israelis use.
Yes even in some of the older Hebrew we find examples in Tehillim and Mishlei where the vav was used as a stand in for "iy" and it confused the Masoretes. We read it as a "V" also today in solidarity with Israel. The W/V discussion is usually only an issue for those trying to pronounce the divine name (which we also do not do anyway). Thank you for commenting akhi.
Grateful for this teaching, was just brainstorming about the topic of how different the modern Hebrew can be from the ancient … Also would love to hear more about His Sacred name, I used to use it, but after teacher explained why he doesn’t, it made so much more sense and a way to remain humble. I’m trying to help others learn and Rabbi Yeremiah teaching have been priceless for me. 🙏😁🎣
Add Somali and Ge’ez to that! I was literally looking for an explanation for the switch of W to V and I found your video! It’s W (pronounced wah) and it’s related to the BREATH OF LIFE part of the HOLY (Kodosh) Name of G’d.
Shalom Rabbi Thank you for clarifying what I have seen in my studies as the "waw" sound of ך. (I hope I've selected the correct Hebrew character here!) I became particularly interested in the Hebrew language as a result of a tragedy in losing my daughter 5 days after her birth. It was a harrowing journey during the months I carried her knowing she would leave before or after delivery. The unknown compelled me to fall on my knees and pray to the God of Abraham who is my God, but with more intensity than I ever had before. One particularly difficult and sleepless night during my later months of pregnancy I prayed again pouring what was left of my broken heart out to my Father in Heaven, and at the conclusion of my petition I still felt the weight of everything and knew I had to open my scriptures to seek for more solace. My eyes caught hold of the page my fingers had landed on: Isaiah 52. I had never taken the time to study Isaiah before, except having to memorize a couple of key verses as a young teen for early morning seminary before school. Other than those few verses and others I would occasionally cross reference with other books of scripture, my knowledge of the book of Isaiah was very limited. Somehow in those foreign verses of Chapter 52 my heart began to feel peace, and when I reached v7 it was as though God was speaking directly to me offering me hope in my dark abyss. I didn't know at the time what this verse of scripture even meant, but I know I felt loved and embraced by my Prince of Peace, whose feet I deem to be beautiful. Up until that moment I didn't know what middle name to give my daughter and then it was clear to me, that I wanted to give her a name that would always remind me of this sacred moment of peace that came in answer to my desperate prayer. God heard me and gave me assurance to trust in Him that night, no matter the outcome. I am of mixed Samoan heritage, but I did not like any of the Samoan translations for words I thought would be great candidates for our daughter's name. Mauga (mountain) manaia or aulelei (good or beautiful) vae (feet) - none seemed like the right fit. Then I wondered about a Hebrew equivalent for any of these words, particularly the word beautiful. I found their were no easy equivalents for the word beautiful because it depended on context and what did I know about Hebrew?? So I wondered if I should read the Hebrew translation of this verse and I stumbled (or was led to) a dated audio recording of the Jewish folksong "Ma Navu"! How I loved that song. It immediately captured my heart, I leapt for joy. I found a beautiful rendition on TH-cam by Batya Segal and that was it. I was sold. My children have listened to that song as they've grown and they know it's our beloved Ellie's song. So I still wasn't sure if I should use both words "ma" and "Navu" as her name. But I was glad to know I had a name! A couple of days later, I was researching something separate related to my faith (I'm a Latter-day Saint) and wouldn't you know it, I came across an article written by a member of our church on the history of the City of Nauvoo and our temple that was destroyed by fire on the day the Saints were expelled from Nauvoo on account of a termination order issued by the State. I hadn't even connected that this word "Navu" was indeed the same word as our beloved city and temple "Nauvoo". And what was more, our founding prophet Joseph Smith renamed Nauvoo (from Commerce) in reference to the same scripture passage Isaiah 52:7! We named our daughter Navu, I thought this was the Hebrew spelling. I have since learned years later that Nau'voo (or as you have just clarified for me today "naw'waw" as I have also seen it through the years of researching) is actually the more correct transliteration for this Hebrew word which appears only in about 3 places in the Tanakh, and which means lovely, comely or fitting. The issue of the "V" sound has always caused me some agitation. Thank you for clearing this up well and truly in my mind. Appreciate you listening to my story! I have been desiring to engrave Navu in Hebrew characters on my daughter's memorial plaque which we are currently trying to design with help of a stone mason. Rabbi if you don't mind, I hope this isn't inappropriate, but I don't want to misrepresent the Hebrew, perhaps you could advise if the punctuation marks are required on the Hebrew characters if I was to engrave them onto the memorial plaque? I'd love to hear your knowledge on the word Navu or Nauvoo or naw'waw and how it's pronounced given the Vav is anciently pronounced as "woo"? Thank you very much for your time.
I'm so sorry for your loss, may Hashem comfort you along with all the mourners of Zion. Navu = נָּאו֨וּ Please feel free to join us at T.ME/HebrewLiteracy
@@HebrewLiteracy You are actually correct on this issue. You have a lot of knowledge, it's just a pity that it's so tainted by your egotism and arrogance, not to mention your tendency to project those traits onto others. A teacher should have devotion to God, devotion to academic truth, or both. For all your knowledge, you appear to have neither, and that's a real shame.
You both make interesting points. I was not living 2000 years ago so I can't say 100% certain. What ever you choose is up to you. It's not something I wish to argue over. Just to be able to study Torah with someone is a blessing. We will have disagreements but don't let it divide us and put each other down. We are all doing the best we can.
Well please don't neglect the 70+ scholars I linked to in the pdf in thedescription section of the video akhi. I could find you 300 scholars of that's what's needed; it's very easy because every single scholar agrees this was a w sound. Please be sure to watch the videos debunking every Gordon claim over at TH-cam.com/@HebrewGospels . We can't just say "nobody knows we weren't around 2000 years ago" ... We know so let's be intellectually honest. No need to respond further if you don't want to akhi but this is a public forum so please don't be offended as I will continue to respond... This issue is just such a non-issue in Hebrew scholarship. Glad to have you here akhi!
Admitting that you hold to pharisee “law” (as opposed to pure Torah) automatically calls your pronunciation into question since you are so invested in “limiting” the very name used hundreds of times in Scripture.
This is not my "opinion" or my "theory." Please check the description in the video for the document I made listing 77 scholarly works all of whom refer to the ancient Waw as "w" not "v" This is just a silly Nehemia Gordon trying to cover his earlier mistakes in life before he knew Hebrew well ... no Hebrew scholar agrees with this guy. All I'm doing is presenting what is known across all Jewish nusachs and the whole of Hebrew academics. I haven't presented any theory at all of my own. It's common knowledge among us. All the best
Are you sure that the Y in pray or prey is really acting as a vowel? I thought only the a and e are acting as vowels in those words, respectively. The Y in the word "why" would be acting as a vowel in that case.
Yes, there is no consonantal sound from 'y in those words, except on occasion by Southern preachers speaking the word slowly. You can sometimes here these guys say, "we need to Pra-Ye" accenting the Y will cause it to be a consonant but this is not the norm. Technically these are "diphthongs" (sounds produced by multiple vowels in concert). Imagine dropping the -Y at the end of "pray", the A will then be pronounced differently, pra = "prah"
His name was removed on threat of death in Rome . It was and is in the writings about 6863 times . Nehemiah Gorden does have a Doctorate and speaks a number of times .
Please check out channel @HebrewGospels i think they can really help you. Also check, out the document i created with 71 actual scholarly references it's linked in the description of this video.
Yes but Farsi is not a Semitic language... I could also point out that Yiddish uses the Vav as a V sound but Yiddish though written with Hebrew letters is like Farsi written with Arabic letters (plus a couple more); neither are semitic languages so not relevant
There are some people claim that it's UAU, and always a "U". The same people claim that Alep always sound "A" And all of Hebrew letters sounds "A " For example Alap Bat Lamad Any comment about it? For me I think they are ignorant
yes this is ignorance. Aleph for example does not make ANY vowel sound natively (except in Yiddish!). Aleph in ancient times is a kind of stopping of the sound in your throat; it's like the British Cockney accent how they delete the hard T sounds by just stopping the air in their throat. So if someone is saying an aleph was always an "A" this really is expressing ignorance of any of the research into Classical hebrew. Thanks for your question!
@@HebrewLiteracy So technically their claim about the letter "WaW" that its real name is "UaU" and always and "U" is false too? Because that will have some problem with the names like Dodewah..
So I was trying to be efficient; I thought by falsifying 100% completely their claim about aleph this would deal with them as no longer being a source for Hebrew knowledge. Yes it's also false that waw was always a vowel (and their claim that the Consonant Aleph is the vowel 'a'). Nobody thinks this. Ask them for a single peer reviewed study
@@HebrewLiteracyThanks, again. So out of topic I just want to confirm the real name or long name of Isaiah is Yeshayahuw with the "Waw" as W at the end, correct if this is wrong?
correct but do not write the extra "w" at the end, this is incorrect. The ancient Waw is one of a handful of "vowel letters" which could either be consonants or vowels (the others are Heh, and Yod). If you write it as "-uw" then you are assuming two waws at the end. Hope this helps
YHWH we pronounce as "Adonai" when praying or reading from the bible except in places where it is pointed with the vowels from "Elohim" then we read it "Elohim." Sorry I didn't see your comment before Paula.
I usually do not pronounce it as W but I know that's the ancient, and correct way. Sometimes I do though when reading psalms alone. I like it :) Being more authentic
The scriptures make It clear that his people should "call on his name to be saved" and "my children will know my name" and many other examples that encourage his name to be spoken? Why should his name be unspoken among his followers?
1. The entire New Testament writings respects the custom in place during the time of Yeshua - the Name is never written. 2. The Messiah teaches how to pray and address our Father, "Avinu sh'bashamyim" (our FATHER) 3. Yeshua never pushes back against this societal norm and we know he wasn't skiddish 4. שם (sheym) in Hebrew means "reputation" many of the verses people misunderstand by having to read them in ENglish do not get this nuance - yes we know His שם ie who he is and what his mighty deeds are. 5. the 5th command says כבד את אביך ... Honor your ancestors and our ancestors have laid this down for us (just as Hashem rewarded the REchovites for honoring the traditions laid down by their ancestors). 6. We are commanded: lo tisa et sheym Hashem elokeykha lashav ... Do not lift up the name of Hashem your G-d lightly the safeguarding of this command is essential. I've heard countless people say JESUS CHRIST! When they are angry, or G.D. etc. G-d protect these people if a mundane society forsakes what is holy and begins using the actual name of G-d (the tetragrammaton) we will absolutely hear His name cursed daily. 7. We do not disrespect even our earthly fathers by calling them by their first names, how much more so our Heavenly Father? 8. Even the Father Himself protects his name when Moshe first asks what name to say aloud to the Israeli elders in Egypt; G-d says tell them "Ehyeh asher ehyeh" which is a hidden form of His name, conjugating the verb from which His name comes from into first person. 9. W.W.J.D. well based on scripture we never see him pronouncing the Tetragrammaton the closest we ever get is Greek "ego eimi" which isn't even the full verson of #8 above. 10. The cultivated Olive tree safeguards His name as we see in the entire book of Ester; if people desire to be grafted in to Israel it's time they start learning from us rather than forcing us to be grafted in to the wild olive tree. Thank you so much for your question brother, may we be like the Jews of Berea searching together. Feel free to chat with me over on telegram at T.ME/HebrewLiteracy shalom shalom akhi.
@@HebrewLiteracy thank you. Do they do this as a replacement when quoting Tanakh? Adonai seems perfectly fine as an addressing title or even as second person reference when speaking. However when scripture listed the name in reference or indication, it seems encumbant on anyone quoting that scripture aloud to, at minimum, make it clear what was written. In changing it to Adonai the hearer does not know what was written because sometimes scripture indeed used Adonai rather than YH-H. In using Hashem at least there is little doubt that the name was in the text because Hashem is (possibly never) used as personal reference to God.
Hi Jesse, sorry for my slow response. I'm just seeing your comment now. No, the divine name is a 3rd person Hiphil imperfect from the root היה . So you will recall from your studies the Hiphil usually expresses a causative or an elative meaning, and היה means "to be / exist" so his sacred name means "He causes to exists" or "he brings into being." In point of fact it does not mean "he was, is and will be" also time doesn't really work like that in Biblical Hebrew. You are assuming (or whoever taught you this) that Hoveh (active participle from היה) means "is" as in present tense. This is true in Modern Hebrew dialect but not in biblical Hebrew. The participle does not express any time at all... Be well
I would guess that New Jersey natives say it much differently than do Texans, Scots, Irish or English. Neither God nor Jesus ever spoke a word of English. It didn't exist until the middle ages. Either way, I imagine that God can translate any words spoken from the heart! Maybe even words unspoken. "Even before there is a word on my tongue [still unspoken], O LORD, You know it all."Psalm 139:4
He refuses to call him by name, but he had no compunction about stating that the person he's referring to frequently appears on Michael Rood's show. I'm confused. By saying he frequents Michael Rood's show, he makes it obvious who he's talking about. So, why not just call him by name? And why the condescending tone? 🤨
He did say that saying the Sacred Name is limited in the amount we say it, advised against, to not use it in a way we mention human names. He didn’t say it was forbidden, but what I took from it was it is a revered name, holy, sacred, to only use it in the correct context at purposeful times
We can't keep His name holy if we forget about it. We must say IHVH to keep it holy. What we cannot do is throw it around like any other word or use it to insult, lie about, or slander Him. Not being able to say His name is doctrine created by the Pharisees to bring us away from Him. Btw, I prefer the Latinized spelling IHVH over the modern-Anglicized YHWH. This is purely a written difference and does not indicate a different pronunciation. The I represents /j/ and the V represents /w/, as in Classical Latin.
Yet the Messiah himself is not recorded using the divine name in speech and teaches us to say "Avinu" (our father). Add to that the fact that the entire Greek Apostolic writings follow the correct tradition of saying Adonai (Kyrious in Greek) and never write the tetragrammaton. I hope you will reconsider. I know my earthly father's name also but I never call him by it; i wouldn't dare.
You shall be a set apart nation,you who are Israel shall be set apart and not be like the other nations! That Karaite guy sounds like a smart guy! Even My Name is set apart says יהוה! He also said: Call Me by My Name! He also said: In thatday,you will call me by My Name and not Baal any more!
Well שם (name) in Hebrew usually means "reputation" more often than "name." In point of fact it does not say "call me by my name" that's quite a mangled translation. He says "call on my authority" or "recognize my reputation" so you are trying to make the Hebrew = to English friend. When he says "call on my name" (sic.) it means "lean on my reputation" call on Me it does not means pronoucne Y-H-W-H this is a misunderstanding of how this word works / what it means. It's a call to loyalty, not parrotry. Regarding the sacred name of G-d being treated as mundane, can you tell me why not a single person in the entire Apostolic writings are recorded as ever saying the divine name aloud? Do you know more than the disciples did? WHy did the Messiah himself never pronounce the divine name? Why did he teach us to say instead "Abba"? Open up your mind and keep searching. Just because "that karaite fellow" happens to put forward a position you like (when karaites do not pronounce the divine name) so really the guy you like is a rebel within his own community. He does get lots of bucks from Christians though ...
Yes, also Sephardim so between Azhkenazim and Sephardim that's like 90% of world Jewry. Fortunately the Yeminites and some Syrian Jews have maintained the ancient pronounciation. Thanks for writing
@@TheSeptuagint it's literally the whole chapter says a letter from all 22 Hebrew characters. Everyone knows where v sounds and j sound comes from and there relative new before medieval times there was no j sound or letter. Do research
Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra (1089-1167) is viewed as one of the greatest Hebrew grammarians and clearly explains how the letter vav is pronounced. You cannot produce the “w” sound in the way Ibn Ezra is describing in his commentary on Exodus 3. “The vav is used as a connective and is in such instances placed in front of the word because the vav sound is made by connecting the lips. The vav is used as a connective in the phrases avraham ve-yitzchak (Abraham and Isaac) (Gen. 48:16) and in mi fa’al ve-asah (who hath wrought and done it) (Is. 41:4).” “Yah is, as I have explained, one of the three proper names of God. All three *YHVH, EHEYEH, YAH. come from one root. *Heh, yod, heh. Since the word eheyeh *Which means I will be, and is also one of the names of God. See Ex. 3:14. is frequently employed in speech it was necessary to substitute a vav for a yod in God’s glorious name. The word Yah is likewise known. Its yod was vocalized with a pattach because of the guttural and the silent yod was dropped because it has another secret numerical meaning. *If the letters of the name Yah are spelled out and then computed they come to 26. The latter is the same as the numerical equivalent of the letters making up the divine name YHVH. Yah is spelled yod heh. Yod heh spelled out = 26. That is, yod spelled out comes to 20: yod (10), vav (6), dalet (4). Heh, which is spelled heh (5), alef (1), comes to 6. The full name of God, Y (10) H (5) V (6) H (5), comes to 26. Thus Yah = YHVH. We find Yah combined with God’s glorious name in ki ozzi ve-zimrat Yah YHVH (for God the Lord is my strength and song) (Is. 12:2). I have already explained that the name YHVH is at times a proper name and at times an adjective.”
I've read Ibn Ezra's commentary on Exodus, in no way would he (a native Arabic speaker) claim the waw was a "v" sound. please read what you copied (from translation): "the sound is made by connecting the lips"; this is exactly what I explain in my video. a V sound is made by quasi biting a lip not connecting them and a W sound is made by connecting them. Kind of funny people think Ibn Ezra, Arabid and Judeo-Arabic speaker, would argue for the Modern Hebrew way. If you got this spin from Nehemia Gordon be careful; that guy spins a lot; he will quote a rabbi and will remove several paragraphs between sentences to make it look like the sage is making his point. Check out these guy to see everything Gordon ever said about the name totally refuted: www.youtube.com/@HebrewGospels Please forgive me for not responding to any of the other things you quoted from Ibn Ezra they simply were irrelevant
"Holy" in many hebrew context can mean "separated", or deliberately set apart for religious purposes, but the jews are the only people I know of who've turned this connotation of "holy" into a linguistic taboo, as though YHWH's name were some dirty secret. I can't imagine a religious discipline where their principal god is treated like Voldemort.
Can you explain why Yeshua (aka Jesus) himself is never recorded pronouncing the divine name but instead instructs his followers to refer to him simply as "Abba."? Or why is it that the Greek Apostolic writings follow our practice of saying "Adonai" by never one time mentioning the divine name in all the Apostolic writings but instead writing "Kyrios" which means "Adonai" or "Theos" which means "Elohim"? Your understanding of Q'dushah is quite limited friend. Try on some humility before attacking the way the cultivated olive tree does things. You have much to learn.
@@HebrewLiteracy Let's get one thing straight, I'm not "attacking" your precious "tree", but it seems you have a lot to learn, too. Elohiym and Adonai are honorific plural in reference to YHWH. And Yeshua does refer to him by his name. Try reading a restored version of the New Testament. Yeshua would not have been able to offer any explanation as to how your god went from some vocalization of "YHWH" to "him who shall not be named". Your modern "judaism" is a far cry from what he knew, anyway.
I made an assertion which you have not answered. Show me one place in the Greek where he pronounces the sacred name. The oldest manuscripts we have are Greek so you need to go with that.
@@HebrewLiteracy You're being deliberately dense. You know that the tetragram was never transliterated into Greek, you know that the original gospel was written neither in Greek nor English, and you know full well that Yeshua was an ordained rabbi who spoke Hebrew and Aramaic. But at least you got his name right...too bad most "christians" don't. Anyway, check out Luke 13:35 in any sacred name bible OTHER than that TLV, which ironically suffers from the same problem you do.
But your theory doesn't make any sense. It violates Occam's razor and why would Indo-European languages corrupt Hebrew dialects used by Jews in Africa and East Asia.
it's not my theory. Please consult the link in the description of this video.. I took the time to provide titles of works by 77 scholars all of whom know it was always a waw. I could not find any who claim it's a 'v'. The only person who makes such nonsensical claims is Nehemia gordo. So it's not "my theory" it's the entire landscape of Hebrew knowledge... if you wish to upend the accepted knowledge among every minhag and all of Hebrew scholarship in academia, the burden will be on you to make your arguments.
Yes, G-d chose Abraham and he will never unchoose the faithful among his descendants. The good news is anyone can join us and become adopted in/grafted in. So G-d's chosen people are those who choose him and His ways.

I have lengthy discussions with many people. They share their evidences. Give the name of the scholarly articles, and the peer reviewed journal they are in. I've given you 77! I would have given 100 but I figured most people would be satisfied with 77. If you just want to pretend the Vav has always been a Vav this fine but tone down the "false prophets" rhetoric please. It's a bit too far. Share your peer reviewed scholarly evidence; a resort to name-calling is a logical error "ad hominem" and means you couldn't prove your point.
I was prompted in my spirit to seek Fathers Name when i read Exodus 3, where He states, " This is My Name and My remembrance to all generations ... that resonated deep within me, and i was off to the races to discover what it was, and after tons of searching and tracing modern hebrew back to before the babylonion exile and even further ... I believe our Blessed Father's Name is pronounced YAHUWAH ! and proclaiming His Name is reverence unto HIM ! I seldom ever say, Lord, unless im teaching someone else that it's not lord. No offense to anyone on here, but the tradition of not speaking or using His Intimate Name is another empty tradition of men ! .... Take not from My Word and add not to It ! Also, another intimate revelation of His Name is found in the first chapter of Genesis ! Days 1-6 He is Elohim. Man is created on the 6th day, and Elohim sees all that He made and that it's very Good ! He then enstates the Sabbath and gives His intimate Name for the very first time in Scripture ! ...

Bless You ! Praise you in The highest ! HalleluYAH !!! YHWH, El Shaddai ! YHWH, El Elyon, YHWH ! YHWH ! YHWH ! 🥹👐👐👐
Thank you for writing. Why do you think that the entire New Testament never mentions the divine name even one time? None of the disciples pronounce the Name, Yeshua does not pronounce the name yet you seem to know better than all the Apostles and the Messiah. In Jewish practice, we emulate men and women in the bible who are presented as having proper behavior. I humbly suggest you get yourself a W.W.J.D. bracelet and wear that. Then every time you want to publicly pronounce the Divine name stop yourself and think "Did Jesus ever do this?" "Did any of the 12 Apostles ever do this 1 time?" "Is it recorded anywhere in any of the original Greek Manuscripts of the New Testament?" This will keep you from profaning (making common) His sacred name.

We read it as a "V" also today in solidarity with Israel. The W/V discussion is usually only an issue for those trying to pronounce the divine name (which we also do not do anyway). Thank you for commenting akhi.
Grateful for this teaching, was just brainstorming about the topic of how different the modern Hebrew can be from the ancient … Also would love to hear more about His Sacred name, I used to use it, but after teacher explained why he doesn’t, it made so much more sense and a way to remain humble. I’m trying to help others learn and Rabbi Yeremiah teaching have been priceless for me. 🙏😁🎣
Hope you and your family ok Akhi, miss having you around.
Toda raba! So enlightening !
Thank you for the teaching.
It's my pleasure akhi. Thanks for writing me again. I always appreciate the encouragement
Add Somali and Ge’ez to that! I was literally looking for an explanation for the switch of W to V and I found your video! It’s W (pronounced wah) and it’s related to the BREATH OF LIFE part of the HOLY (Kodosh) Name of G’d.
ah I had no idea it's like that in Somali, very cool. Thanks for sharing
Shalom Rabbi
Thank you for clarifying what I have seen in my studies as the "waw" sound of ך. (I hope I've selected the correct Hebrew character here!)
I became particularly interested in the Hebrew language as a result of a tragedy in losing my daughter 5 days after her birth. It was a harrowing journey during the months I carried her knowing she would leave before or after delivery. The unknown compelled me to fall on my knees and pray to the God of Abraham who is my God, but with more intensity than I ever had before.
One particularly difficult and sleepless night during my later months of pregnancy I prayed again pouring what was left of my broken heart out to my Father in Heaven, and at the conclusion of my petition I still felt the weight of everything and knew I had to open my scriptures to seek for more solace. My eyes caught hold of the page my fingers had landed on: Isaiah 52.
I had never taken the time to study Isaiah before, except having to memorize a couple of key verses as a young teen for early morning seminary before school. Other than those few verses and others I would occasionally cross reference with other books of scripture, my knowledge of the book of Isaiah was very limited. Somehow in those foreign verses of Chapter 52 my heart began to feel peace, and when I reached v7 it was as though God was speaking directly to me offering me hope in my dark abyss. I didn't know at the time what this verse of scripture even meant, but I know I felt loved and embraced by my Prince of Peace, whose feet I deem to be beautiful.
Up until that moment I didn't know what middle name to give my daughter and then it was clear to me, that I wanted to give her a name that would always remind me of this sacred moment of peace that came in answer to my desperate prayer. God heard me and gave me assurance to trust in Him that night, no matter the outcome. I am of mixed Samoan heritage, but I did not like any of the Samoan translations for words I thought would be great candidates for our daughter's name. Mauga (mountain) manaia or aulelei (good or beautiful) vae (feet) - none seemed like the right fit. Then I wondered about a Hebrew equivalent for any of these words, particularly the word beautiful. I found their were no easy equivalents for the word beautiful because it depended on context and what did I know about Hebrew?? So I wondered if I should read the Hebrew translation of this verse and I stumbled (or was led to) a dated audio recording of the Jewish folksong "Ma Navu"! How I loved that song. It immediately captured my heart, I leapt for joy. I found a beautiful rendition on TH-cam by Batya Segal and that was it. I was sold. My children have listened to that song as they've grown and they know it's our beloved Ellie's song. So I still wasn't sure if I should use both words "ma" and "Navu" as her name. But I was glad to know I had a name! A couple of days later, I was researching something separate related to my faith (I'm a Latter-day Saint) and wouldn't you know it, I came across an article written by a member of our church on the history of the City of Nauvoo and our temple that was destroyed by fire on the day the Saints were expelled from Nauvoo on account of a termination order issued by the State. I hadn't even connected that this word "Navu" was indeed the same word as our beloved city and temple "Nauvoo". And what was more, our founding prophet Joseph Smith renamed Nauvoo (from Commerce) in reference to the same scripture passage Isaiah 52:7!
We named our daughter Navu, I thought this was the Hebrew spelling. I have since learned years later that Nau'voo (or as you have just clarified for me today "naw'waw" as I have also seen it through the years of researching) is actually the more correct transliteration for this Hebrew word which appears only in about 3 places in the Tanakh, and which means lovely, comely or fitting.
The issue of the "V" sound has always caused me some agitation. Thank you for clearing this up well and truly in my mind.
Appreciate you listening to my story! I have been desiring to engrave Navu in Hebrew characters on my daughter's memorial plaque which we are currently trying to design with help of a stone mason. Rabbi if you don't mind, I hope this isn't inappropriate, but I don't want to misrepresent the Hebrew, perhaps you could advise if the punctuation marks are required on the Hebrew characters if I was to engrave them onto the memorial plaque?
I'd love to hear your knowledge on the word Navu or Nauvoo or naw'waw and how it's pronounced given the Vav is anciently pronounced as "woo"?
Thank you very much for your time.
I'm so sorry for your loss, may Hashem comfort you along with all the mourners of Zion. Navu = נָּאו֨וּ

@@HebrewLiteracy You are actually correct on this issue. You have a lot of knowledge, it's just a pity that it's so tainted by your egotism and arrogance, not to mention your tendency to project those traits onto others. A teacher should have devotion to God, devotion to academic truth, or both. For all your knowledge, you appear to have neither, and that's a real shame.
Thank you for clearing this up. I also wondered why Psalm 119 in KJV states Waw instead of Vav. And Tau instead of Tav.
My pleasure thanks so much for commenting.
My old American-Heritage Dictionary pronounces it 'waw'.
You both make interesting points. I was not living 2000 years ago so I can't say 100% certain. What ever you choose is up to you. It's not something I wish to argue over. Just to be able to study Torah with someone is a blessing. We will have disagreements but don't let it divide us and put each other down. We are all doing the best we can.
Well please don't neglect the 70+ scholars I linked to in the pdf in thedescription section of the video akhi. I could find you 300 scholars of that's what's needed; it's very easy because every single scholar agrees this was a w sound. Please be sure to watch the videos debunking every Gordon claim over at TH-cam.com/@HebrewGospels . We can't just say "nobody knows we weren't around 2000 years ago" ... We know so let's be intellectually honest. No need to respond further if you don't want to akhi but this is a public forum so please don't be offended as I will continue to respond... This issue is just such a non-issue in Hebrew scholarship. Glad to have you here akhi!
Praise The Almighty because of yr teachings..
Thank you so much for saying that Paula! May Hashem bless your learning akhotiy!

Very enlightening
Not only Yemenite, but also Baghdadi Jews pronounce it as a "w"
Ah this makes sense. Thanks for sharing. I love the dror yikra written by a Bagdhadi Jew!
Admitting that you hold to pharisee “law” (as opposed to pure Torah) automatically calls your pronunciation into question since you are so invested in “limiting” the very name used hundreds of times in Scripture.
This is not my "opinion" or my "theory." Please check the description in the video for the document I made listing 77 scholarly works all of whom refer to the ancient Waw as "w" not "v" This is just a silly Nehemia Gordon trying to cover his earlier mistakes in life before he knew Hebrew well ... no Hebrew scholar agrees with this guy. All I'm doing is presenting what is known across all Jewish nusachs and the whole of Hebrew academics. I haven't presented any theory at all of my own. It's common knowledge among us.
All the best
Could teach something about numbers?? Theres 2 texts on B'rit Hadashá about number 18 and 12..am curious about! Thx so much

Are you sure that the Y in pray or prey is really acting as a vowel? I thought only the a and e are acting as vowels in those words, respectively. The Y in the word "why" would be acting as a vowel in that case.
Yes, there is no consonantal sound from 'y in those words, except on occasion by Southern preachers speaking the word slowly. You can sometimes here these guys say, "we need to Pra-Ye" accenting the Y will cause it to be a consonant but this is not the norm. Technically these are "diphthongs" (sounds produced by multiple vowels in concert). Imagine dropping the -Y at the end of "pray", the A will then be pronounced differently, pra = "prah"
let's get it YHWH rules forever
His name was removed on threat of death in Rome . It was and is in the writings about 6863 times . Nehemiah Gorden does have a Doctorate and speaks a number of times .
Please check out channel @HebrewGospels i think they can really help you. Also check, out the document i created with 71 actual scholarly references it's linked in the description of this video.
Arabic w sound farsi which uses the same letter with v sound
Yes but Farsi is not a Semitic language... I could also point out that Yiddish uses the Vav as a V sound but Yiddish though written with Hebrew letters is like Farsi written with Arabic letters (plus a couple more); neither are semitic languages so not relevant
As a believer in Yeshua, I am curious as to how you pronounce the Creator's name. Would you be so kind as to tell me.
Let's get to know each other first then I'll teach you when I trust you with it :)
@@HebrewLiteracy that would be great. how do we do that? Grace.
@@easttexan2933 You can join us over at T.ME/HebrewLiteracy
There are some people claim that it's UAU, and always a "U".
The same people claim that Alep always sound "A"
And all of Hebrew letters sounds "A "
For example
Alap
Bat
Lamad
Any comment about it?
For me I think they are ignorant
yes this is ignorance. Aleph for example does not make ANY vowel sound natively (except in Yiddish!). Aleph in ancient times is a kind of stopping of the sound in your throat; it's like the British Cockney accent how they delete the hard T sounds by just stopping the air in their throat. So if someone is saying an aleph was always an "A" this really is expressing ignorance of any of the research into Classical hebrew. Thanks for your question!
@@HebrewLiteracy So technically their claim about the letter "WaW" that its real name is "UaU" and always and "U" is false too? Because that will have some problem with the names like Dodewah..
So I was trying to be efficient; I thought by falsifying 100% completely their claim about aleph this would deal with them as no longer being a source for Hebrew knowledge. Yes it's also false that waw was always a vowel (and their claim that the Consonant Aleph is the vowel 'a'). Nobody thinks this. Ask them for a single peer reviewed study
@@HebrewLiteracyThanks, again.
So out of topic I just want to confirm the real name or long name of Isaiah is Yeshayahuw with the "Waw" as W at the end, correct if this is wrong?
correct but do not write the extra "w" at the end, this is incorrect. The ancient Waw is one of a handful of "vowel letters" which could either be consonants or vowels (the others are Heh, and Yod). If you write it as "-uw" then you are assuming two waws at the end. Hope this helps
Sooo how can we speak Yud Hê Vav Hê????
YHWH we pronounce as "Adonai" when praying or reading from the bible except in places where it is pointed with the vowels from "Elohim" then we read it "Elohim." Sorry I didn't see your comment before Paula.
🙂@@HebrewLiteracy
So King David would be King Dawid
Yes
I’ve learned Biblical Hebrew first then Modern and I pronounce Waw.
I usually do not pronounce it as W but I know that's the ancient, and correct way. Sometimes I do though when reading psalms alone. I like it :) Being more authentic
@@HebrewLiteracy yes I like it too, because we don’t have much differences then. 😊
The scriptures make It clear that his people should "call on his name to be saved" and "my children will know my name" and many other examples that encourage his name to be spoken? Why should his name be unspoken among his followers?
1. The entire New Testament writings respects the custom in place during the time of Yeshua - the Name is never written. 2. The Messiah teaches how to pray and address our Father, "Avinu sh'bashamyim" (our FATHER) 3. Yeshua never pushes back against this societal norm and we know he wasn't skiddish 4. שם (sheym) in Hebrew means "reputation" many of the verses people misunderstand by having to read them in ENglish do not get this nuance - yes we know His שם ie who he is and what his mighty deeds are. 5. the 5th command says כבד את אביך ... Honor your ancestors and our ancestors have laid this down for us (just as Hashem rewarded the REchovites for honoring the traditions laid down by their ancestors). 6. We are commanded: lo tisa et sheym Hashem elokeykha lashav ... Do not lift up the name of Hashem your G-d lightly the safeguarding of this command is essential. I've heard countless people say JESUS CHRIST! When they are angry, or G.D. etc. G-d protect these people if a mundane society forsakes what is holy and begins using the actual name of G-d (the tetragrammaton) we will absolutely hear His name cursed daily. 7. We do not disrespect even our earthly fathers by calling them by their first names, how much more so our Heavenly Father? 8. Even the Father Himself protects his name when Moshe first asks what name to say aloud to the Israeli elders in Egypt; G-d says tell them "Ehyeh asher ehyeh" which is a hidden form of His name, conjugating the verb from which His name comes from into first person. 9. W.W.J.D. well based on scripture we never see him pronouncing the Tetragrammaton the closest we ever get is Greek "ego eimi" which isn't even the full verson of #8 above. 10. The cultivated Olive tree safeguards His name as we see in the entire book of Ester; if people desire to be grafted in to Israel it's time they start learning from us rather than forcing us to be grafted in to the wild olive tree.
Thank you so much for your question brother, may we be like the Jews of Berea searching together. Feel free to chat with me over on telegram at T.ME/HebrewLiteracy shalom shalom akhi.
Adonai seems disrespectful as a replacement though. It seems like Hashem is much more respectful & keeping in sync with what's in the text.
Thank you for your comment. It's interesting that even the Greek NT refers to him as Kyrios (Greek for Adonai)
@@HebrewLiteracy thank you. Do they do this as a replacement when quoting Tanakh? Adonai seems perfectly fine as an addressing title or even as second person reference when speaking. However when scripture listed the name in reference or indication, it seems encumbant on anyone quoting that scripture aloud to, at minimum, make it clear what was written. In changing it to Adonai the hearer does not know what was written because sometimes scripture indeed used Adonai rather than YH-H. In using Hashem at least there is little doubt that the name was in the text because Hashem is (possibly never) used as personal reference to God.
@@chrisstevens2504 yes when it's the actual name this comes across in Greek as Kyrios (L-rd). I agree with you though, Hashem is more precise.
From my understanding the name comes from the word's hayah hoveh ve"yiheyeh was, is and will be im a Christian who's studied Hebrew for years
Hi Jesse, sorry for my slow response. I'm just seeing your comment now. No, the divine name is a 3rd person Hiphil imperfect from the root היה . So you will recall from your studies the Hiphil usually expresses a causative or an elative meaning, and היה means "to be / exist" so his sacred name means "He causes to exists" or "he brings into being." In point of fact it does not mean "he was, is and will be" also time doesn't really work like that in Biblical Hebrew. You are assuming (or whoever taught you this) that Hoveh (active participle from היה) means "is" as in present tense. This is true in Modern Hebrew dialect but not in biblical Hebrew. The participle does not express any time at all...
Be well
😂I think they really know "V" sound is garbage, ...but its hard to admit error if you been teaching it for years!
shalom.
So David, becomes Dawid haha cool
/w/, just like in Aramaic and Arabic.
exactly - also Ugaritic and Akkadian
I would guess that New Jersey natives say it much differently than do Texans, Scots, Irish or English. Neither God nor Jesus ever spoke a word of English. It didn't exist until the middle ages. Either way, I imagine that God can translate any words spoken from the heart! Maybe even words unspoken. "Even before there is a word on my tongue [still unspoken], O LORD, You know it all."Psalm 139:4
He refuses to call him by name, but he had no compunction about stating that the person he's referring to frequently appears on Michael Rood's show. I'm confused. By saying he frequents Michael Rood's show, he makes it obvious who he's talking about. So, why not just call him by name? And why the condescending tone? 🤨
He did say that saying the Sacred Name is limited in the amount we say it, advised against, to not use it in a way we mention human names. He didn’t say it was forbidden, but what I took from it was it is a revered name, holy, sacred, to only use it in the correct context at purposeful times
We can't keep His name holy if we forget about it. We must say IHVH to keep it holy. What we cannot do is throw it around like any other word or use it to insult, lie about, or slander Him.
Not being able to say His name is doctrine created by the Pharisees to bring us away from Him.
Btw, I prefer the Latinized spelling IHVH over the modern-Anglicized YHWH. This is purely a written difference and does not indicate a different pronunciation. The I represents /j/ and the V represents /w/, as in Classical Latin.
Yet the Messiah himself is not recorded using the divine name in speech and teaches us to say "Avinu" (our father). Add to that the fact that the entire Greek Apostolic writings follow the correct tradition of saying Adonai (Kyrious in Greek) and never write the tetragrammaton. I hope you will reconsider. I know my earthly father's name also but I never call him by it; i wouldn't dare.
You shall be a set apart nation,you who are Israel shall be set apart and not be like the other nations! That Karaite guy sounds like a smart guy! Even My Name is set apart says יהוה! He also said: Call Me by My Name! He also said: In thatday,you will call me by My Name and not Baal any more!
Well שם (name) in Hebrew usually means "reputation" more often than "name." In point of fact it does not say "call me by my name" that's quite a mangled translation. He says "call on my authority" or "recognize my reputation" so you are trying to make the Hebrew = to English friend. When he says "call on my name" (sic.) it means "lean on my reputation" call on Me it does not means pronoucne Y-H-W-H this is a misunderstanding of how this word works / what it means. It's a call to loyalty, not parrotry.
Regarding the sacred name of G-d being treated as mundane, can you tell me why not a single person in the entire Apostolic writings are recorded as ever saying the divine name aloud? Do you know more than the disciples did?
WHy did the Messiah himself never pronounce the divine name?
Why did he teach us to say instead "Abba"?
Open up your mind and keep searching. Just because "that karaite fellow" happens to put forward a position you like (when karaites do not pronounce the divine name) so really the guy you like is a rebel within his own community. He does get lots of bucks from Christians though ...
Bruach Hashem interesting video
Psalms 119 literally tells you it was waw first vav came with white Jews Ashkenazi or European
Yes, also Sephardim so between Azhkenazim and Sephardim that's like 90% of world Jewry. Fortunately the Yeminites and some Syrian Jews have maintained the ancient pronounciation. Thanks for writing
Where does it say that? Which verse(s) specifically
@@TheSeptuagint it's literally the whole chapter says a letter from all 22 Hebrew characters. Everyone knows where v sounds and j sound comes from and there relative new before medieval times there was no j sound or letter. Do research
Wow who could have thought it was a v sound, lol.
N.G. needs corrected.excited or boastful? I quite him long ago.
Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra (1089-1167) is viewed as one of the greatest Hebrew grammarians and clearly explains how the letter vav is pronounced. You cannot produce the “w” sound in the way Ibn Ezra is describing in his commentary on Exodus 3.
“The vav is used as a connective and is in such instances placed in front of the word because the vav sound is made by connecting the lips. The vav is used as a connective in the phrases avraham ve-yitzchak (Abraham and Isaac) (Gen. 48:16) and in mi fa’al ve-asah (who hath wrought and done it) (Is. 41:4).”
“Yah is, as I have explained, one of the three proper names of God. All three *YHVH, EHEYEH, YAH. come from one root. *Heh, yod, heh. Since the word eheyeh *Which means I will be, and is also one of the names of God. See Ex. 3:14. is frequently employed in speech it was necessary to substitute a vav for a yod in God’s glorious name. The word Yah is likewise known. Its yod was vocalized with a pattach because of the guttural and the silent yod was dropped because it has another secret numerical meaning. *If the letters of the name Yah are spelled out and then computed they come to 26. The latter is the same as the numerical equivalent of the letters making up the divine name YHVH. Yah is spelled yod heh. Yod heh spelled out = 26. That is, yod spelled out comes to 20: yod (10), vav (6), dalet (4). Heh, which is spelled heh (5), alef (1), comes to 6. The full name of God, Y (10) H (5) V (6) H (5), comes to 26. Thus Yah = YHVH. We find Yah combined with God’s glorious name in ki ozzi ve-zimrat Yah YHVH (for God the Lord is my strength and song) (Is. 12:2). I have already explained that the name YHVH is at times a proper name and at times an adjective.”
I've read Ibn Ezra's commentary on Exodus, in no way would he (a native Arabic speaker) claim the waw was a "v" sound. please read what you copied (from translation): "the sound is made by connecting the lips"; this is exactly what I explain in my video. a V sound is made by quasi biting a lip not connecting them and a W sound is made by connecting them. Kind of funny people think Ibn Ezra, Arabid and Judeo-Arabic speaker, would argue for the Modern Hebrew way. If you got this spin from Nehemia Gordon be careful; that guy spins a lot; he will quote a rabbi and will remove several paragraphs between sentences to make it look like the sage is making his point. Check out these guy to see everything Gordon ever said about the name totally refuted: www.youtube.com/@HebrewGospels
Please forgive me for not responding to any of the other things you quoted from Ibn Ezra they simply were irrelevant
"Holy" in many hebrew context can mean "separated", or deliberately set apart for religious purposes, but the jews are the only people I know of who've turned this connotation of "holy" into a linguistic taboo, as though YHWH's name were some dirty secret. I can't imagine a religious discipline where their principal god is treated like Voldemort.
Can you explain why Yeshua (aka Jesus) himself is never recorded pronouncing the divine name but instead instructs his followers to refer to him simply as "Abba."?
Or why is it that the Greek Apostolic writings follow our practice of saying "Adonai" by never one time mentioning the divine name in all the Apostolic writings but instead writing "Kyrios" which means "Adonai" or "Theos" which means "Elohim"?
Your understanding of Q'dushah is quite limited friend. Try on some humility before attacking the way the cultivated olive tree does things. You have much to learn.
@@HebrewLiteracy Let's get one thing straight, I'm not "attacking" your precious "tree", but it seems you have a lot to learn, too. Elohiym and Adonai are honorific plural in reference to YHWH. And Yeshua does refer to him by his name. Try reading a restored version of the New Testament. Yeshua would not have been able to offer any explanation as to how your god went from some vocalization of "YHWH" to "him who shall not be named". Your modern "judaism" is a far cry from what he knew, anyway.
I made an assertion which you have not answered. Show me one place in the Greek where he pronounces the sacred name. The oldest manuscripts we have are Greek so you need to go with that.
@@HebrewLiteracy You're being deliberately dense. You know that the tetragram was never transliterated into Greek, you know that the original gospel was written neither in Greek nor English, and you know full well that Yeshua was an ordained rabbi who spoke Hebrew and Aramaic. But at least you got his name right...too bad most "christians" don't. Anyway, check out Luke 13:35 in any sacred name bible OTHER than that TLV, which ironically suffers from the same problem you do.
You lost me with "you know the tetragrammaton was never transliterated into Greek..." go read Josephus...
Yes every dialect but one has the same corruption 😂
@shimonnyman1138 and linguists know where the corruption comes from..it's easily traceable and it's not from Hebrew or any other Semitic language...
But your theory doesn't make any sense. It violates Occam's razor and why would Indo-European languages corrupt Hebrew dialects used by Jews in Africa and East Asia.
it's not my theory. Please consult the link in the description of this video.. I took the time to provide titles of works by 77 scholars all of whom know it was always a waw. I could not find any who claim it's a 'v'. The only person who makes such nonsensical claims is Nehemia gordo. So it's not "my theory" it's the entire landscape of Hebrew knowledge... if you wish to upend the accepted knowledge among every minhag and all of Hebrew scholarship in academia, the burden will be on you to make your arguments.

Thank you for writing.
Why do you think that the entire New Testament never mentions the divine name even one time? None of the disciples pronounce the Name, Yeshua does not pronounce the name yet you seem to know better than all the Apostles and the Messiah.
In Jewish practice, we emulate men and women in the bible who are presented as having proper behavior. I humbly suggest you get yourself a W.W.J.D. bracelet and wear that. Then every time you want to publicly pronounce the Divine name stop yourself and think "Did Jesus ever do this?" "Did any of the 12 Apostles ever do this 1 time?" "Is it recorded anywhere in any of the original Greek Manuscripts of the New Testament?"
This will keep you from profaning (making common) His sacred name.
