As an oldie, my cyber space street cred is backward, but I have now managed the 15 pages on the one subject Maya Deception??? and see how the subscribers come to wrestle with the problem. As you know the problem is beside the point as far as I am concerned seeing God's appearance to man and known by the name YHWH does not need a replaced word or name. That is LORD replaces YHWH in the King James bible and Maya in the Aramaic.
I am not happy but please bear with me. I was always taught that Genesis 1 starts with with the more abstract view of God as Elohim. We say in English that God created the world in six days. It is not until chapter 2 and the fall of Adam that YHWH is brought into the story as having a relationship with man.
It is of course true that YHWH is God. I asked my modern Hebrew Teacher once what she understood by the word YHWH and she said YHWH means God!
Why does the Trilinear Targum use the Aramaic Yod,waw,yod for Elohim? Yahwi may be the pronunciation, is it?
You can see that if the Peshitta starts with a form of YHWH for God then its about time that my time honoured understanding was revised.
