Description
This section of the digital Sacred Name Bible contains Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, and the Prophets (Isaiah to Malachi).
God said in Exodus 20:7 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain (KJV). In the attempt to make sure no one breaks this very important commandment, the Jewish rabbis decided thousands of years ago not to ever pronounce God’s Sacred Name. Instead they decided to say “Adonai†or “HaShem†(Hebrew for “The Nameâ€). Jewish people still follow this custom today. Bible translators have also followed it.
Most translations replace God's Sacred Name with “LORD†in all capital letters (as in the verse above). In fact, the adherence to this Rabbinical rule has been so complete that the correct pronunciation of the Almighty’s Awesome, Sacred Name has been lost. No one today knows for sure the correct pronunciation.
Is that bringing honor to God’s Name? Would it not more greatly honor Him if we said it with extreme adoration and awe?
If the Creator of the Universe did not want us to ever say His Name, then why did He put it in the Bible almost 7000 times? If you look, you will see that David, “a man after God’s own heart,†wrote this Sacred, Hebrew Name almost 800 times in the Psalms, most likely also pronouncing it when he recited, prayed, or sang those psalms.
.
It is a blessing just to see this Sacred Name throughout the Scriptures. It will be an even greater blessing to know how to proclaim it aloud, sing it in praise, and call upon it in supplication. Two most likely pronunciations put forth by Hebrew scholars are: "Yehovah" or "Yahoveh." It is not pronounced "Jehovah" because there is no “j†sound in Hebrew. It is not “Yahweh†because there is no “w†sound in Hebrew. (Although, it is said that ancient Hebrew had a sound that was between a "v" and a "w.") May the Lord Himself reveal to His people how to say, with all respect, honor, and reverence, His most Holy Name.
Jesus’ Hebrew Name is pronounced Yeshua. This is Jesus’ Sacred Name. It means “he saves.†It comes from the word “salvation.†“Salvation†is yeshuah which is pronounced exactly the same as Jesus’ Name, Yeshua. Therefore every time anyone reads the word “salvation†in Hebrew, they are saying Jesus’ Name. To bring this fact to life, this version of the Bible, the Sacred Name Bible, uses "Yeshua" in Hebrew letters in place of Jesus and the Hebrew letters for “yeshuah (salvation)†in place of “salvation.†It helps the reader see how many times Jesus’ Name is in the Hebrew Scriptures.
The Light Of The World
There is something marvelous about Jesus’ Hebrew Name, Yeshua. When written in the Biblical Hebrew script one can see seven flames at the top of the letters. If you place a picture of a Menorah over the letters those seven flames will stand atop the seven branches of the Menorah, exemplifying the awesome fact that Yeshua is the Light of the world! This is no accident! This shows just one aspect of the beauty of the Hebrew language which God chose to use for most of the Scripture.
Explanation of the Updated King James Version
The words “thee,†“thou,†and “thine,†etc., are replaced with “you†and “your,†etc. Verb endings, such as –est and –eth, as in “blesseth†and “comest,†are replaced with currently correct grammar. A few outdated words, such as “asses†are replaced with today’s words, “donkeys†in this case.
Otherwise the original King James Version text is not altered.
