This is people who assume they understand Hebrew and they don't. It makes no sense, to a Hebrew speaker it's ridiculous. “ Hoveh” is “he is,” “ hova” is “she is.” Why would you tie it to a completely different word? Again, it's like "assume" logic. His name, clearly and indisputably, comes from the words “ haya, hoveh, yihiyeh,” which is three forms of the Hebrew verb, “He was, He is, He that will be.” And the vah there comes from “ hoveh,” “He is.” And by the way, hovah, if you take that by itself, coming from that route doesn't mean destruction, it means “she is.” It has nothing to do. Why would you do that? Your own destruction, your own ruin. What if you take apart God's holy name and strip it of that yud, you turn this holy name Yehovah into destruction. In fact, that's deeply offensive to tie in the two, it's ridiculous. And I found that it comes from the Latin word “ assumere,” so it has nothing to do with the word "ass.” It only sounds like it.Īnd "assume" has as much to do with the word "ass" as “Yehovah” has to do with the word "hovah,” destruction. And I actually looked it up, out of curiosity, because this is what I do. He believed that assume actually came from the word ass, which is just stupid. If you assume, you make an ass out of you and me.” And he meant that literally. Do you know what assume is?” I said, “No, what's assume?” He said, “Assume is made up of three words, ass, you, me. And I said, “Well, I assume…” He said, “Whoa, whoa, stop. I've shared this before, that my first job I ever had, I had a guy I was working under and he asked me something. I'm not even sure it's how English works. So, if you look in the Strong's Concordance - and let's be honest, the people who are proposing this idea, that's the extent of their Hebrew knowledge - they'll look in the Strong's Concordance and find out there's a word "hovah.” And they'll say that means “destruction,” and therefore Yehovah means, “Oh, hail destruction.” It's called "A Disastrous Understanding of the Name Yehovah.” I just want to quickly talk about that. Nehemia: Yeah, I did a little thing years ago. But the people told me ‘hovah’ means destruction.”ĭeborah: Oh, “hovah.” Yeah, we've got a study on that. Nehemia: But you told me a lot of the emails you get are people who say, “I read Nehemia’s stuff and I watched the videos and I see it's Yehovah. In the very beginning when we heard the name, and we heard it out of your mouth, it totally changed our lives that night.ĭeborah: Yeah. It's huge to them, and it was to me and Tim. I get lots of emails from people just learning the name of Yehovah. I'm sitting here with Deborah Arndt, director of Makor Hebrew Foundation.ĭeborah: Shalom, y'all. I'm coming to you today from San Antonio, Texas. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon's Makor Hebrew Foundation. You are listening to Hebrew Voices with Nehemia Gordon.
