A book excerpt and a letter:

1) This is an excerpt from A Mantle in Israel by Aderet White concerning the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton.

Although the name Yahushua was likely used to avoid saying the true name of the Messiah, since it contains a part of the Father's name it gives us clues as to the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton.  The first three letters of the Tetragrammaton are the first three letters of Yahushua.  Two pronunciations are possible for this name, Yahushua (Murashu text) or Yehushua (Massoretic text).  After returning to the states I learned of the discovery of the Murashu texts. "The Murashu texts are Aramaic texts written in cuneiform script on clay tablets found at Nippur.  These texts date back to 464 to 404 B.C.E. and contain many Jewish names transcribed in cuneiform with vowels.  Many of these names contain part of the divine name in the name.  In all these names the first portion of the name appears as YAHU and never as YEHU.  ("Patterns in Jewish personal names in the Babylonian Diaspora" by M. D. Coogan, Journal for the Study of Judaism, Vol. IV, No. 2, page 183f)."

The vowel pointing in the Murashu text is more consistent with the other uses of the tri-grammaton (the first three letters of the Tetragrammaton) in the Massoretic text.  Names that end in the tri-grammaton are vowel pointed as YAHU in both the Murashu and Massoretic texts; for example, Yerimiyahu, Eliyahu, and Ishiyahu.  However, when the tri-grammaton is used at the beginning of a name, the Murashu text continues to use YAHU, whereas the Massoretic text uses YEHU instead.  Therefore names in the Massoretic text like Yehonatan, Yehoshua, and Yehoyachin are written in the Murasha text as Yahonatan, Yahushua, and Yahoyachin.  Another confirmation for the YAHU pronunciation is found in the word "Judah."  In Hebrew Judah is pronounced "Yahudah" and is spelled exactly like the Tetragrammaton except for the added daleth for the "d" sound.  If you take out the daleth, you have the Tetragrammaton with the pronunciation of "Yahuah."

Dear Brother & Sister Prodoehl,

First I would like to deal with who is confused. Yahu'ah is the pronunciation of the Yahu'dim/Jews scattered in Yemen which have spoken the Hebrew language as a living language since they left the land of Israel. I have met and talked with those of the Yemenite branch of Yahu'dim. Scholars in Israel tell us they speak the closest dialect to Biblical Hebrew. They have three dialects though and only one is the closest to the Biblical Hebrew. We in the mongrelized English language are the ones that are confused and confusing since we borrow from all different languages and letters for one letter in the Hebrew. The V, W (double v shape pronounced as a double u) and U all represent the 6th letter called the vav, vaw, waw, etc... by the European and English Jews which did not continue to speak Hebrew as a language and added lots of vowel points to the language. So who is confused and inconsistent? The Jews themselves are confusing and confused deliberately to keep those of the nations from knowing these things so we have to rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance. I go back to the oldest form of the name of Yahu'ah to get the oldest possible form of the name. By the way Yemenite Yahudim/Jews still pray in the name of Yahu'ah.

Concerning the name of Yahu'shua I would let you know that this is not another name as you propose. Yahu'ah nissi, Yahuah Shammah, Yahu'ah Shalom is not another name. Yahu'shua is a contracted form of the Saviour's name Yahu'ah yashua or hoshua in all old manuscripts and text of the Old Testament of the Branch, Zachariah 6:11-12 and is used in ancient manuscripts of the book of Hebrews to refer to the Netser from Netserot or Nazareth. This Branch (Netzer) (see this link for proof:

http://cf.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=05342  used in the Isaiah 11 reference but ties into: http://cf.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=06780 used in Yeremyahu and Zacharyahu) is called Yahu'ah- tsidkanu our righteousness;

 

Yeremiahu 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called,  Yahu'ah tsidkanu OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

23:7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith, that they shall no more say, Yahu'ah liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

23:8 But, Yahu'ah liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

 

Yahu'shua as the branch is called here in the Tanach/Old Testament by Zachariah is Yahu'ah our Righteousness by Yeremyahu/Jeremiah and Nazareth or Natserot plural for the netser or branch is the town where the branches of the family descendents from King Dauid lived. A Netser is a tree that comes up from the root of the original olive tree that comes up is a place distant from the trunk of the original olive tree. Thus Nazareth is a distance from Beth lachem or House of Bread.

 

So in conclusion if I am violating the third commandment by calling the Netser/Branch our Messiah by a contracted form of Yahu'ah-yahsua or hoshua Saviour  which is Yahu'shuav then I am in good company with Zachariah the Prophet in 6:11-12:

 

6:11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of  Yahu'shua the son of Yosedech, the high priest;

6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of Yahu'ah:

 

and with the writer of Hebrews in Hebrew according to the only existing copy we have in Hebrew:

 

2:9 But we see Yahu'shua, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the favor of Yahu'ah, should taste death for every man.

 

Even though I do not condemn you for your use of the double uu, and that you have not talked with Yemeni Yahudim to see how they pronounce the name of Yahu'ah, you have sought to judge me without wisdom or knowledge of the language. I remember the Holy Spirit also lead me in my studies to believe this was the correct way to pronounce it when I first came into believing in the name but I was intimidated by those which used Yahweh so I used that for years until recently when I felt convicted to do more research and find out how this name of our Creator was pronounced anciently. Yahu'ah is the most correct according to this bringing to remembrance and leading of the Holy Spirit to transliterate it into English.

 

I also want to say that all of the other or the rest of the Hebrew and Aramaic text of the New Testament have yod shin uau ayin or yashua some say yeshua meaning simply Saviour for the Branch throughout the New Testament and also of the son of Nun and the son of Yosedech in Ezra and Nehemiah when referring to these same individuals. So there seems to be in Aramaic and New Testament Hebrew an approved title for Saviour used instead of Yahu'ah. I would note that these same manuscripts do say the this Saviour is Yahu'ah.

Neh 8:17 And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua³⁴⁴² the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
 

Ezr 3:2 Then stood up Jeshua³⁴⁴² the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren,251 and built the altar  of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.

For H3091; he will save; Jeshua, the name of two Israelites, also of a place in Palestine: - Jeshua.

 

So please be careful who you accuse of violating the third commandment because you may be accusing lots of people that Yahu'ah does not condemn at all. Please also know it is not your considering that I am concerned with, but the Saviour Yahu'ah, and I do not consider this to be confusing, but anyone can understand it because "Whosoever calleth upon the name of Yahu'ah shall be saved."

Our Creator would not ask us to do something it is impossible for us to do. I am doing my best to come out of Babel or Babylon and I know the Holy Spirit will not fail either of us if we do not allow our own limited knowledge to puff us up, because pride goeth before a fall. We all see through a glass even more darkly than Apostle Paul when he wrote 1Corinthians 13 so let's spread the Word as revealed to us instead of trying to bite and devour one another by condemning those that are for us and not against us. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples because you love one another. Thank you for practicing Leviticus 19 to love thy neighbor as thyself by rebuking him to his face in love and hope you can receive this written in the Spirit of Galatians 6:1-7 seeing that we who correct ought also to be correctable.

 

In the name of Yahu'ah Saviour,

 

Darrell
