Isa 28:9 Whom would He teach knowledge? And whom would He make to understand the message? Those weaned from milk, those taken from the breasts! Isa 28:10 For it is: command upon command, command upon command, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little. Isa 28:11 For with a jabbering lip and a foreign tongue He speaks to this people, Isa 28:12 to whom He said, “This is the rest, give rest to the weary,” and, “This is the refreshing.” But they would not hear. Isa 28:13 But the Word of יהוה was to them, “Command upon command, command upon command, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little,” so that they go and shall stumble backward, and be broken and snared and taken captive.

THE MEANING

THERE ARE A COUPLE THEORIES BEHIND THE MEANING OF EFEI

1) “HE EXISTS” where the name reads EfE-iIn Hebrew Grammar, adding an I to the beginning of a verb (EfE) makes it 3rd Person Singular Masculine

Imperfect

Hence EfE-I would either mean “He Will Exist” or “HE EXISTS”, it would be the latter to be

consistent in tense with eIeA - “I AM”

2) EfEI is derived from afei which is pronounced “YAH-OO” and means either He Shall be (verb) or the

name YAHU which means EfEI is He (H3058)

Exo 6:2 And Elohim spoke to Mosheh and said to him, “I am יהוה.

Isa 48:12 “Listen to Me, O Ya’aqob, and Yisra’ĕl, My called: I am He ( אני הוא ), I am the First, I am also the Last.

Isa 41:4 “Who has performed and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? ‘I, יהוה, am the first,

and with the last I am He.’ ” ( אני הוא )

Isa 43:10 “You are My witnesses,” declares יהוה, “And My servant whom I have chosen, so that you know and

believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no Ěl formed, nor after Me there is none. Isa 43:11 “I, I AM יהוה, and besides Me there is no

saviour.

Isa 46:3 “Listen to Me, O house of Ya’aqob, and all the remnant of the house of Yisra’ĕl, who are borne from the

belly, who are carried from the womb: Isa 46:4 even to your old age, I am He, and even to grey

hairs I carry! I have made and I bear, and I carry and rescue.

PRONUNCIATION

YAHWEH?

YAHWEH?Zues (Greek)

Iou Pater (Latin)= God-Father

= Iuppiter= Jupiter

JOVE = IOUE= IAUE

= Y-A-W-E=Yahweh

YAHWEH possibly come from JOVE

which was another name for ZEUS

YAHWEH?

It was the Greek translators that would often replace the “ah” ending that was believed to be feminine, with an “eh”

ending

Furthermore, despite the variation in vowel pointings, most of the ones I’ve come seen show that there is suppose to be an “aw”

sound between the f waw and the e ha

YAHWEH?

HEBREW GRAMMAR

HWH pronounced “Hawah” is…- 3rd Person (He, She, They)- Masculine (He)- Perfect Tense Verb- Meaning “He Existed”

To get ‘He Will Be” or “He Exists” you add the Yad iNow normally this would be pronounced

(according to current Hebrew Grammar Rules)

“yih’woh”

But there are some issues with that…

YAHWEH?

HEBREW GRAMMAR

HWH is what you call in Hebrew Grammar an “IRREGULAR VERB”

1) It starts and ends with Ha2) It has 2 Ha hence it’s labeled “Doubly

Weak”3) Because it has a Waw in the middle, it’s

called a “Hollow Verb”

Each of these conditions have special rules in pronunciation, let alone all there in one word

We’ll discuss this more later,

However, even in Hebrew Grammar, there is no vowel pointing that renders the pronunciation “Yahweh”

SO WHAT IS THEPRONUNCIATION

?

There are 4 possibilities based on the Hebrew Grammar Rules I’ve studied thus far

Y a H a W a HY a H u W a HY a H o W a HY a H u W a H

*** Regarding “Yeh” – when talking about natural pronunciation, the Masorites would place a Shewa

(:) under the first letter of a word with multiple syllables because we naturally would not

pronounce “Yaw” at the beginning of the word when spoken at regular speed, hence the most

accurate way to represent the first syllable would

be Y’ or Yə

Of the three, YaHuWaH and YaHuWaH is the most attested

1) The name of the Tribe of larsi from

which The MessiYah came from is edfei which is pronounced “YaHUDah”

Never YaHODaH nor YaHUDeh

Gen 29:35 And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Now I praise

.So she called his name Yehudah ”.יהוהAnd she ceased bearing.

2) “Yahu” fei is at the end of 72 Hebrew names in Scripture, not “Yaho”

3) In order to get the pronunciation YaHoDaH

(or YehoDah), would need special vowel pointings. It’s believed these vowel pointings were altered so

efei would have the same vowels as Adonai

and Elohim (Like Yehovih – H3069)

4) The Waw can be a Consonant and a Vowel

H6312פוה פואהpu'ah puwwah

poo-aw', poow-waw'a blast; Puah or Puvvah, the name of two Israelites: -

Phuwah, Pua, Puah.

Another Example

‘aliyahu - feila = My Power is efei (H452)VS

‘alihu – feila = He is My Power (H453)

Exact same spelling, but they have different meanings because the YAD in ‘ALIYAHU is

consonant and a vowel while it’s only a vowel in ‘ALIHU

5) aHaYah – ‘aSheR - aHaYah aHaYaH – HuW – aHaWaH

The above two statements say the exact same thing

I Will Be (What, Who, How, That, Cause) I Will Be

This wouldn’t work if the middle said “Ho” which means Oh! Alas! Ah!

Some Hebrew names are a mashup of wordsYaHUDah = YHWH + YaDaH

YaHUSHUA = YHWH + YaSHUAYSHaR’aL = Y + SHaRaH + ‘aL

YHWH = HaYaH + HuW + HaWaHOr

YHWH = Y + HaWaH

6) Vowel Points

Because the Hebrew Language is “Abjad” (Consonant Only) certain techniques were

employed after TaNaKh was written determine vowel sounds

'By the beginning of the Middle Ages, the Masoretes of Babylonia and Palestine (6th–10th century) had fixed in

writing, by points and annotation, the traditional pronunciation, punctuation, and (to some extent)

interpretation of the biblical text.' - Encyclopedia Britannica

However, The Dead Sea Scrolls (408 BCE - 318 CE) didn’t use vowel points, they used “matres

lectionis” (Latin: "mothers of reading“),the use of certain consonants to indicate a vowel.

6) Vowel Points

86% of the instances that YHWH is written in the TaNaKh is vowel pointed as

Kה Lהו יWhere = Qamets = “a” as in father

And = Schwa = "ə" sounds like the “a” in a-bout, or ca-reen

For Yeh-o-wah, you would need the pointing

= Holam = “o” as in role

7) Lion of larsi

8) THE HA

e

8) THE HA

8) THE HAThe Greeks would use characters from our alphabet that represented letters that did

not pronounce (the gutturals a f o) to represent vowel sounds

I believe in Ancient Hebrew Ha e was just a

BREATH while Hhat h was a stronger breath that was closer to the pronounced letter

“H”(Hercules vs Alleluiah)

I believe this is why Jamaicans don’t pronounce “H” at the beginning of a word,

it’s because we lost the original pronunciation

8) THE HA

I also believe this is how we went from fei (YaHU) to fi (YO)

Like in Yohhanan, Yosaph, Yonah, Yo’al** “Joshua” and “Judah”**

This is also the reason why some of the names in Scripture is missing the “H”

Habel – Able, Hoshea – Osee, HalaluYah - Alleluia

Also when there is suppose to be a “Hh” they put and “H”

Hham – Ham, Hhizqiyahu - Hezekiyah, Hhermon - Hermon

BUT: HaYaH vs HhaYaH, HaWaH vs. HhaYaH

8) THE HAH1887

’ha – האA primitive particle; lo!: - behold, lo.

H162Pאהה - 'ahahh - a-haw'

Apparently a primitive word expressing pain exclamatorily; Oh!: - ah, alas.

H1929Pהה - hahh - haw

ah! expressing grief: - woe worth.

The pictograph e represents “one who is looking at a great sight with his hands

raised and taking a long breath”.

8) THE HA

Ha e is a Breath

The other Gutturals (From the throat)

A h oAlso deal with the breath, their sound is made

by changing the shape of the channel the breath flows through, just like vowels

In Hebrew the Gutturals were characters, but their sound was related to the vowel before

and/or after it

This is why the Greeks used these Characters for Vowel Letters

SO WHAT’S THEVERDICT?

NOTE: the following video says “vav”, we believe it to be “waw”. He also says Yahshua, we believe the name to be

Yahushua. This will be fully explained in the other lessons

To this day the Cherokee call the Creator "Yowa",

which does resemble "Iowa", which would be a short form. J.C. Beltrami called the

Iowa river the YAHOWA10 river,

interesting to say the least.
