*Back to Yehowah: A Conversation* I started with a problem that’s been bugging me. The Greeks wrote the Name as IABE (Ya-beh) and IAOUE (Ya-oo-eh). But final Heh in Hebrew is almost never -eh. It’s always -ah. Yirmeyahu, Eliyah, Yesha’yahu - all -ah. So why would YHWH end in -eh in Greek? Greeks had Alpha for ah. They could have written IAOUA = Ya-ou-a. That would be perfect Yahowah. But they wrote E - eh. Maybe they had no rough breathing in the middle or end, so they couldn’t write the H. And that breathy final -ah sounded like -eh to a Greek ear. Or maybe the Samaritans they heard really did say Ya-beh with -eh, not Yah-wah. You pointed out: you can actually get Yeh-ow-ah straight from the pointing. And it’s eerily close to Yah-ow-ah. One dot of difference. And that’s true. The Leningrad points are: Yod + sheva = Yeh Heh + holam = ho Waw + kamatz = wah Final Heh = silent = Yeh-ho-wah. Read it exactly as pointed, no tricks. If you change sheva (eh) to patah (ah) on the Yod,...

*Yom Kippur — Two Goats, One Atonement* Lev 16:7-10 — Aaron takes two goats. One lot for YHWH, one lot for Azazel. Same enclosure. One offering. Two parts. *The Names:* _Az_ — _az_ [עז] — means goat. Also means strength and praise. Same word. Goat is the strong one. _Azel_ — _azal_ [אזל] — means to go away, to be removed, to be gone. To disappear to wilderness. _Azazel_ — _azazel_ [עזאזל] — Goat of Removal. The goat that goes away. Peshitta OT keeps the name — _la'Azazel_ — does not translate it to Lord. *Two Goats — Two Works:* *1. Goat for YHWH — slain — blood — the body* Lev 16:9 — the goat on which the lot for YHWH fell is offered as a sin offering. Blood brought inside the veil before the mercy seat. This is the body — the sacrifice — Yeshua as the Lamb — blood shed for YHWH. *2. Goat for Azazel — live — bearing — sent away* Lev 16:10 — the goat on which the lot for Azazel fell shall stand alive before YHWH to atone upon him, to send him away to Azazel to the wilder...

Here is a draft in your notes voice for Isa 29:1-2 — you can paste as is: --- *Isa 29:1-2 — Ariel — Foundation Mount of God shall become Hearth of God* We have been tracking Isa 28:16-20 — _hinn'ni yissad be'Tzion even_ — Foundation Stone laid — bed too short — garment too narrow — _matsa_ — pressed. Now 29:1 opens same city. > _Hoy Ariel Ariel qiryat chanah David sephu shanah al shanah chaggim yinqophu_ > Woe Ariel Ariel the city where David encamped — add year upon year — let feasts come around in circuit. > _ve'tsaqoti la'Ariel ve'hayta ta'aniyah va'aniyah ve'hayta li ke'Ariel_ Who is Ariel? LXX saves it — _ouai polis Ariēl_ — Woe city Ariel — they would not translate it as lion. Targum saves it — _qirta d'shara David_ — city where dwelt David. Why? Because Ariel is two things in one spelling — and Ezekiel 43:15-16 proves it — first instance without א, other two with א: *v15a — הַהַרְאֵל — _har'el_ — without א — Mountain o...

Isaiah chapter 28 as Hebrew compared to Greek LXX (LXX: ...) and Aramaic Peshitta (P: ...) and Aramaic Targums. _1_ Woe to crown glorious of drunkard Ephraim (LXX: crown of pride, hirelings of Ephraim) (P: shameful diadem of strength of his glory) and to garland shameful, army of his glory at head of valley of fatness (heavenly fatness / beautifully fertile) (P: which dominates at entrance of fertile valley) of those confused with wine (LXX: drunk without wine). _2_ Behold, the strong and mighty one for YHWH — as stream hail, storm destroying — as stream waters many, heavy, thick overflowing — He causes land to rest with power — (LXX: as great body water sweeping away soil, he shall make rest for the land) (P: I will give rest to this land by your hands) (Targum: people come against them to remove them out of the land into another land because sins in hands — army — Shalmaneser). _3_ With feet trampled crown glorious of drunkards Ephraim (LXX: hirelings beaten down with hands and fe...

Here is blog 6-9 in same voice — LXX vs MT / P difference is sharpest here — vomit vs covetousness: --- *Isa 28:6-9 — Judgment, Hirelings, and Tables — Vomit vs Covetous Counsel* We saw 1-4 — man's heavenly fatness — beautifully fertile hill they called heaven — early fig eaten while in hand — cannot produce — vs ground prepared by _shavah_ — pressing even — Divider who gives rest. Now 6-9 — priest and prophet — same hirelings — LXX keeps thread — MT / P keep vomit. *My translation 6-9 with glosses:* *6* And for spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to those who turn back battle to gate (LXX: They shall be left in spirit of judgment for judgment, and for strength of them that hinder slaying) (P: same as MT). *7* But these also through wine have erred, and through strong drink are gone astray — priest and prophet have erred through strong drink, swallowed up from wine, gone astray from strong drink — they err in vision, they stumble in judgment (LX...

*Isa 28:1-4 — The Crown, The Hirelings, and Heavenly Fatness vs Heavenly Instructions* We have been in Isa 28 for weeks. V5, then 10-29. We found LXX did not understand supernatural context of 9-12 — _menuha_ and _marge'ah_ — Divider who gives rest. Now 1-4 sets up why. *My translation 1-4 with glosses:* *1* Woe! to crown glorious of drunkard Ephraim (LXX: crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim) and to garland shameful, army of his glory that at head of valley of fatness (heavenly fatness / beautifully fertile) (P: shameful diadem of strength of his glory which dominates at entrance of fertile valley) (LXX: flower fallen from glory on top of fertile mountain) of those confused with wine (LXX: those drunken without wine). *2* Behold, strong and mighty to Lord — as stream hail, storm destroying — as stream waters many, heavy, thick (כַּבִּירִים) overflowing — He causes to rest to land (P: I will give rest to this land by your hands) (LXX: he shall make rest for land) with power...

Here is your blog — starting with the Shavah translation as you asked: --- *Isaiah 28:29 — When You Press Level* > _This also — from with YHWH of Hosts it came forth — He makes wonderful counsel, He makes great the pressing-even._ That is Isa 28:29 if _tushiyah_ is from שוה — to press down hard to level, to set, to make stand. Not "excellent working" — but "great leveling." Not abstract wisdom — but the farmer's last pass with his foot and board that makes broken ground stand even, ready to grow. *1. The verse we all skip* Hebrew: > _gam-zot me'im YHWH tzevaot yatza'ah hifli etzah higdil tushiyah_ Traditional English: > This also comes forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom / working. [KJV / ESV] It closes the farming parable — 28:24-28 — does the plowman plow all day? No. Does he open and break clods all day? No. When he has leveled its face — _ki shivvah paneha_ — does he not scatter dil...
