Examining 3 of the six variants of YHWH in Codex
L.
I
have added links to 3 verses in
The
Westminster Leningrad Codex [4.14]
in
which a variant of YHWH does not have a holem.
In Genesis 15:2 [yod-hatef segol-heh-waw-hireq-heh] follows "Adonai" in
the Hebrew text.
http://www.tanach.us/Tanach.xml#Gen15:2-15:2
In Genesis 4:6 [yod-shewa-heh-waw-qamets-heh] stands alone in the
Hebrew text.
http://www.tanach.us/Tanach.xml#Gen4:6-4:6
In Ezekiel 24:24 [yod-shewa-heh-waw-hireq-heh] follows Adonai in the hebrew
text
http://www.tanach.us/Tanach.xml#Ezek24:24-24:24
All 3 of these 6 variants of YHWH have a CVCCVC pattern which appears to be a
flawed pattern
of consonants and vowels. It seems obvious that none of these particular 3
variants of YHWH,
which occur in Codex L. were ever meant to represent legitimate
pronunciations of YHWH.
FWIW
Constructive Criticism invited on this issue.
