message: I strongly feel Hard Rock Hallelujah needs to be mentioned in this article. --213.130.254.217 (talk) 06:50, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest that the better place to mention this is on the page Hallelujah (disambiguation) along with other uses of 'Hallelujah' in music titles. Please feel free to put it there. That way, this article will focus just on the word and its primary usage. If you still "strongly feel" that the wikilink belongs here, please give your justification below.

message: Just clarifying the purpose of the sentence: "This is made easier by the fact that "Hallelujah" has become a word of unspoken meaning, not a transliterated phrase." The definition of the phrase's meaning is often publicly avoided or not taught, consciously or not. Purpose of sentence is to clarify why many non-Theists seem to use it. This might need to be reworded for grammatical, encyclopedic, and factual correctness. However, I think that the sentence provides a needed explanation. --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 02:37, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I trimmed this today; I don't think it's important that people may not know the meaning -- some non-theists still say explicit things like "thank God" as well as this word. - Fayenatic (talk) 20:21, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I think its practical that "Jah" be used as the first spelling used in the header. The title of the article is in English, not Hebrew. That the spelling not be mentioned at all, when it is part of the most common spelling of the word - just doesn't make much sense. However, it seems the article title "Jah" needs some retouching. --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 08:49, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Both articles concern different transliterations of the same word, so it would be tidier to have a single article. --Leigh Hamilton 20:40, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm also noticing that the most of the opposition to the merger are suggesting moving the other article to Alleluia (chant) and redirecting Alleluia here. But, as that would require adding information from that article to this one, and cleaning up the old article a little, that seems to be essentially would would happen should the articles be merged, so there doesn't seem to be much opposition to the merger, just specifics on how to go about it.73.51.83.101 (talk) 19:02, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

message: "Its pronounciation is not known" "yah is a shortened form of yahwe".
These kinds of attitudes are often common with people who defend a certain branch of religion. However Yah, is the Ea, of Mandeanism. Ea literally means "life", maybe similar to how "spirit" is used now. And maybe related to what some call "animism" now. An animating force. The Mandeans worship "great life". Mandea meaning teaching of life. Similar to how we would say "word of God" today. While Mandeanism is very distorted today, it could once have been monotheism, and the origin of the name Ea, Yah. Later ofcourse Yahwe. (which is a development, and Yah is not a shortened form). It seems related to what today is known as esoteric or gnostic interpretation. In Ebla, there is a namechange from "El" to "Yah", meaning that El was earlier (God). Probably reflecting the elohim vs yahwist change also. Yah, is also Ptah, in distorted ancient egyptian religion. Reflecting similar "esoteric" interpretation. Amun also meaning hidden. Egyptian religion really seems quite monotheistic originally, with various branches more or less distorted, and with hallucinogenic images added. In The Quran, one still uses Allah ofcourse, Al Ilah, or El. "The God" (as we would use "The Lord"). The quranic (57:3) "hidden and present" is usually interpreted to be about immanence aswell. Really the same God, of all times.

:The phrase Yaweh, Yahweh, Yahwe, etc, are annunciations of YHWH, aka the Tetragrammaton which literally means "four letters," which is the Latin transliteration of יהוה. The four letters YHWH have individual meanings that collectively are understood as "I am I am," "I am what I choose," "He is what he chooses," "He who is," "He who exists," etc. Which doesn't translate directly because in Hebrew, "He who exists" refers to someone who is and always has been, and is understood more along the lines of "He who creates." Essentially, in a seemingly convoluted (but well explained and established) way, it means "Creator." (Side note, as many cultures swap J and Y and their sounds, along with W and V, YHWH is sometimes JHVH which is the basis for Jehovah, a nearly-identical-in-meaning name of God as compared to Yahweh.)
:Yah, as understood by Hebrews and Christians (as they are the ones to use Hallelujah), is indeed literally short for Yahweh. Finding similarities in other religions is irrelevant. And bringing it up here, of all places, even more so.73.51.83.101 (talk) 19:52, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

message: I was looking at that edit that the second part of hallelujah (Yah) should be translated as the "national God of Israel". That translation is taken from a dictionary of the bible, written in the 20th century by free church followers, while yah simply means God. Why would we use a reference here that was written barely a 100 years ago? Nations as we know them didn't even exist in antiquity. I believe we shouldn't imply that "God" is a nationalistic theme in any way. I therefore delete this reference.213.55.224.126 (talk) 09:40, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
