Giving Bible readers what God said not what translators think God meant
Ancient Greek copies often wrote JHVH in Hebrew letters. This chapter surveys key witnesses, the 134 substitutions, and what they mean for faithful translation.
Why the Masoretic Text is the primary Hebrew witness and how the Septuagint serves as its ancient ally—sometimes clarifying details, always informing exegesis. Jehovah’s Name stands in the Hebrew text and was preserved in early Greek copies. The Masoretic vocalization and theophoric names confirm the pronunciation Jehovah.
