The modern Bible correctly records the words of God

All of the etymology, outlines of biblical usage, come from the Blue Letter Bible and are readily available to you online. If you wish me to provide hard copy of the Strong's, or of the Hebrew lexicon, I would be more than happy to. As far as my reference to Me'ah, it is the root of Bmai and is listed in BLB, Strong's, and Hebrew lexicon as the word used. If my use is improper, I apologize. Hebrew Interlinear Table Jonah 1:17 (KJV) Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. English (KJV) Strong's Root Form (Hebrew) Pronunciation Now the LORD 3068 Yĕhovah had prepared PARSE 4487 manah a great 1419 gadowl fish 1709 dag to swallow up PARSE 1104 bala` Jonah 3124 Yonah And Jonah 3124 Yonah was in the belly 4578 me`ah of the fish 1709 dag Your mention of Exodus 3:13 is perfect as "I am" is HaYah and helps illustrate my point. And yes, יהוה is used in verse 15 just as it is in nearly 7000 other verses. To your assertion that Father Yah's Name is unpronounceable, I disagree. We derive the word "Jew" from the Hebrew word Yahudah/ Judah. If you remove the Daleth, you are left with Yahuah, whom Yahudah is named for. most Hebrews took Father Yah's Name for their children. יְהוּדָה Transliteration: Yĕhuwdah Pronunciation: yeh"h""d"' Part of Speech: proper masculine noun Root Word (Etymology): from H3034 In all the scriptures I cited in round one, and the hundreds more, attest to the fact that our Creator wishes us to use His Name. Now I'm aware the Jews believe they are offering respect by using lord /Adoni in opposition to His proper Name but what does Father Yah ask of us? Are we to follow men or are we to listen to our Maker? Especially if those men are spiritual descendants of the men who where tossed from the land and made a everlasting reproach. ""Am I an Elohim close by," declares יהוה, "and not an Elohim afar off? "If anyone is hidden in secret places, would I not see him?" declares יהוה. "Do I not fill the heavens and earth?" declares יהוה. "I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy falsehood in My Name, saying, "I have dreamed, I have dreamed!" "Till when shall it be in the heart of the prophets? " the prophets of falsehood and prophets of the deceit of their own heart, who try to make My people forget My Name by their dreams which everyone relates to his neighbour, as their fathers forgot My Name for BaR19;al. "The prophet who has a dream, let him relate the dream, and he who has My Word, let him speak My Word in truth. What is the chaff to the wheat?" declares יהוה. "Is not My Word like a fire?" declares יהוה, "and like a hammer that shatters a rock? "Therefore see, I am against the prophets," declares יהוה, "who steal My Words every one from his neighbour. "See, I am against the prophets," declares יהוה, "who use their tongues and say, "He declares." "See, I am against those who prophesy false dreams," declares יהוה, "and relate them, and lead My people astray by their falsehoods and by their reckless boasting. But I Myself did not send them nor have I commanded them. And they do not profit this people at all," declares יהוה. "And when these people or the prophet or the priest ask you, saying, "What is the message of יהוה?" then you shall say to them, "What message?" I shall forsake you," declares יהוה. "As for the prophet and the priest and the people who say, "The message of יהוה," I shall punish that man and his house. "This is what each one says to his neighbour, and each one to his brother, "What has יהוה answered?" and, "What has יהוה spoken?" "But the message of יהוה you no longer remember! For every man"s message is his own word, for you have changed the Words of the living Elohim, יהוה of hosts, our Elohim! "This is what you say to the prophet, "What has יהוה answered you?" and, "What has יהוה spoken?" "But since you say, "The message of יהוה!" therefore thus said יהוה, "Because you say this word, "The message of יהוה!" and I have sent to you, saying, "Do not say, "The message of יהוה!" " therefore see, I, I shall utterly forget you and cast you away from My presence, along with the city that I gave you and your fathers. "And I shall put an everlasting reproach on you, and an everlasting shame that is not forgotten." "" R37;R37;JeremiahR36; R37;23:23-40R36; R37;ISR98R36;R36; Notice that their fathers Had forgot Father Yah's Name in favor of Ba'al? Nothing's changed! Scripture insisted there's nothing new under the sun and this issue is no different! Here is Webster's Dictionary, Ba'al signifies lord. We believers go to our assemblies and yell out "HalleluYah" and yet most don't even realize they just spoke the Hebrew phrase, praise be to Yah. In the scriptures we see Hebrews using this short form of the Fathers Name יהוה /Yahuah. Psalm 68:4 (KJV) Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. Root Word (Etymology): contraction for H3068, and meaning the same Outline of Biblical Usage: Jah (Jehovah in the shortened form) the proper name of the one true God used in many compounds names beginning with the letters 'Je' names ending with 'iah' or 'jah' I like to share this excerpt from the forward of the NIV and point out " the translators adopted the DEVICE used in most English versions"... I would point out this includes the KJV. Webster's Dictionary says... DEVICE, noun [Latin] 1. That which is formed by design, or invented; scheme; artificial contrivance; stratagem; project; sometimes in a good sense; more generally in a bad sense, as artifices are usually employed for bad purposes. In a good sense: His device is against Babylon, to destroy it. Psalms 21:11. In a bad sense: He disappointeth the devices of the crafty. Psalms 21:11. They imagined a mischievous device Psalms 21:11. 2. An emblem intended to represent a family, person, action or quality, with a suitable motto; used in painting, sculpture and heraldry. It consists in a metaphorical similitude between the things representing and represented, as the figure of a plow representing agriculture. Knights-errant used to distinguish themselves by devices on their shields. 3. Invention; genius; faculty of devising; as a man of noble device 4. A spectacle or show. SHOULD WE BE FOLLOWING THE DEVICE, DESIGN, INVENTION, SCHEME, ARTIFICIAL CONTRIVANCE, OR STRATAGEM OF MEN? What does Father Yah have to say about the devices of men? Proverbs 1:23-33 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. /////////////////////////////////// 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. ////////////////////////////////// 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. So there is no real excuse to ignore His Name as no one can really argue against something they call Him every, Sunday for many, sabbath morning, Hallelu-Yah! "Then shall those who fear יהוה speak to one another, and יהוה listen and hear, and a book of remembrance be written before Him, of those who fear יהוה, and those who think upon His Name." R37;R37;MalachiR36; R37;3:16R36; R37;ISR98R36;R36; Christianity is to busy thinking on "the lord" to worry bout His Name. Psalms 119:132 HS. Turn to me and show me favour, According to Your Right-Ruling, toward those who love Your Name. According to your argument, His Name is not important, we don't kneed to love His Name. Ma'aseh (Proverbs) 10:43"To this One all the Nebi'im (prophets) bear witness, that through His Name, everyone believing in Him receives forgiveness of sins." But men say His Name matters not. ""You do not bring the Name of יהוה your Elohim to naught, for יהוה does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught."
