You’ll be able to hear the pronunciation of any word when you need it-whether you’re refreshing your vocabulary, writing a sermon, or doing research. 5,500 additional sound clips cover alternative spellings from a variety of lexicons and databases. Anyway, let's just leave it at that, we wouldn't want any Jews "to get offended," though it should be clear is not their fault, is the Jews of old's fault that we are even talking about this and having issues with this.Learn to pronounce Hebrew and Aramaic from a leading expert with over 9,500 audio clips of the Hebrew Bible’s lexical forms (‘lemmas’). I think that's more offensive and disrespectful. Imagine if somebody adopted the same senseless idea the Jews of old had and over the centuries we only had JSS was the Son of God and then try to reconstruct the name JSS with JUSUS or JOJOS or something. My strong conviction is that if we love God, fear Him and obey Him then it's totally fine to pronounce His "name." After all, we call Jesus by His name and nobody thinks is too sacred to take away the vowels so nobody can really know how to pronounce it. My personal preference would be a setting on what we wished to have Logos do when it hits the Tetragrammaton - pronounce it, spell it or replace it.Īnd all this issue thanks to the Jews of old who disrespected God and rebelled against Him in every way possible, yet they made a big deal out of not wanting to pronounce His name because they thought it was too sacred.irony of ironies!!!

With the exaltation of Christ as Lord, YHWH is in a very real sense replaced by the name Jesus: I suggest that it was a necessary economic preparation for the Incarnation in Jesus Christ. That this happened is not unimportant or irrelevant. I have not kept upon the scholarship on this question over the past twenty years, and the books I owned that addressed this question have been donated to seminary libraries but I believe I am on safe grounds to state that by the time of Jesus the divine name had been silenced in public discourse, always replaced by the circumlocution Adonai. It also gives an additional understanding of the psalm which says' 'let everything that have breath praise the Lord' (psalm 150.6)"įor various reasons, the divine name eventually became too sacred to be pronounced in Second Temple Judaism.
