Shlama akhi,
yes, they are here and there in the text, but the Masoretic vowels preserve them.

ScorpioSniper2 Wrote:Amen, Brother Chuck! I personally believe "Yahweh" is the most likely the pronunciation of "YHWH". "Yehowah" originates from the Masoretic scribes putting the segol and patach vowel pointings under the Tetragrammaton in order for it to read as either "Adonai" or "Elohim", so as to preserve the secrecy of HaShem (The Name) of God and ensure that it isn't taken in vain.

Shlama,
are you familiar with the other Masoretic pronunciations of YEHWAH, YEHWEEH, YEHOWEEH, YAHWAH, etc.? what are your thoughts on the reasons for those? YEHOWAH is the most commonly found of the variant Masoretic pronunciations, but these others deserve an explanation, don't you think?
something i've also pondered is why the Peshitta AN"K goes with MarYa only. and YAHU appears as a theomorphic prefix in certain names in the Peshitta, like YAHUSHAPHAT instead of YEHOSHAPHAT. it is intriguing...

Did they really say such? As for the pronunciation of "Yahweh" it basically comes from the Samaritans, and they are well known for not pronouncing names the same as the Hebrews. And the Greek evidence is all over the place, and they too are know for pronouncing Hebrew names differently that the Hebrew did/do. Why would some one trust the Samaritans and/or Greeks when it comes to a Hebrew name? Especially over the Hebrew evidence such as the Masoretic texts, Aleppo Codex, Leningrad Codex and, plus numerous prayer books.
