Summary
Get the free book. Nehemiah Gordon is one of the most famously outspoken proponents of the pronunciation “Yehovah.” He argues that the Masoretes did not point YHWH with the vowels of Adonai , but rather were preserving the secret, correct pronunciation of God’s name. Unpacking all of Gordon’s “scholarly sleight of hand” and dubious claims reaches beyond the scope of this book, but the reader should know that he is (either intentionally or unintentionally) suppressing evidence and presenting questionable ideas to support his speculations. For those interested in exploring his errors and misinformation in minute detail with clear examples and explanations, see the video series by “Hebrew Gospels.” website | books | twitter | music | Hebrew | articles | facebook | contact | download all episodes for offline
