Pronouncing YHWH Correctly 2

2 Kings 21:4 – “He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh had said, ‘In Jerusalem will I put my name’.”
2 Kings 21:7 – “In Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever.”
Recent archaeology discoveries have confirmed that the original spelling of the tetragrammaton is YHWH in the ancient Hebrew text. Two such discoveries are highlighted in the Expedition Bible videos below.

The first discovery comes from Soleb, in Egypt, during the 15th Century BC. The Pharaoh of that time inscribed the names of his enemies into the walls of a temple and mentions the name of Yahweh, the Israelite god. Egyptologist Donald Redford documented this find in his 1992 book: Egypt, Canaan, and Israel in Ancient Times.

A picture of this hieroglyph with descriptions and the video are below:

The second discovery comes from a burial site in Katef Hinnom, a suburb of Jerusalem, by Dr. Gabriel Barkay in 1979. It is the oldest copy ever found of a portion of a verse taken from the book of Numbers 6:24-26 in the Hebrew Bible, from around 7BC, the time of the first temple of Solomon.

Conclusions
1) The original spelling of the name was Yod-Hey-Waw-Hey.
2) The original pronunciation of the sixth letter was “waw” and still is when correctly pronounced.
3) Archaeology clearly shows that Yahweh is the correct pronunciation of the tetragrammaton.

Final Thought for 2023
The stage for Yeshua’s return is being set. Prophecy continues to unfold in an escalating pattern as foretold by the Hebrew prophets. The season of the birth pains is here – they are burgeoning and not going away. Time is short – Yeshua Ha’Mashiach is coming soon – be sure you have salvation in Yeshua and keep busy reaching the lost.
