Blessings, Kirk B-Hebrew moderator Kirk, At best it that fact would only mean something, if the Jewish people pronounced the un-pointed Tetragrammnaton [ i.e. YHWH ] as "Yahweh". And I don't know of any source that claims that the Jewish people ever pronounced "YHWH" as "Yahweh" Kirk, have you ever found a source that claimed that there was ever a time in history, when it was know [ as a fact] that the Jewish people ever pronounced the un-pointed Tetragramaton as "Yahweh"? Dave Donnelly P.S. Of course in about 190 A.D. , Clement of Alexandria wrote that "the word of four letters" was called "Iaoue", which favors the pronunciation "Yahweh", but certainly that does not prove that God's name was "YAHWEH" unless Clement was inspired by God to write "Iaoue" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- b-hebrew] Charles Ryrie and the name "Yahweh"Kirk Lowery Kirk at GrovesCenter.org Mon Nov 8 07:44:53 EST 2010 Previous message: [b-hebrew] Charles Ryrie and the name "Yahweh" Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] On 11/08/2010 07:19 AM, David P Donnelly wrote: > http://www.snydertalk.com/?p=2485 > > At the link above is found a rather amazing statement. > > According to Charles Ryrie, author of Ryrie Study Bible, Yahwehs > Name appears in Hebrew manuscripts of the Old Testament exactly 6,823 > times. > > Does any member of b-Hebrew know in what Hebrew manuscripts of the > Old Testament that: Yahwehs Name appears exactly 6.823 times?
