The Name

The Name:

Jehovah we say the name with a J sound but there is no j sound in the Hebrew. So, depending on if you were from Galilee or Jerusalem in Bible days you would have pronounced the first letter “YOD” with a ya sound or a ha sound (this is how they knew Peter was from Galilee, his speech or way he pronounced one particular letter).

Each letter in the Hebrew represents a number and a symbol. Maybe you can see where this is going but let me explain.

Yod number value 10 symbol hand= י

Hei number value 5 symbol breath or wind=ה

Vau number value 6 symbol peg, or nail=ו

Hei=הwindow

So this is where my mind went. Hand, self explanatory

Nail, ok. Nail in the hand (the name God gave Moses reveals the Son in the crucifixion to every Jewish person).
