In Shattering the Conspiracy of Silence, Nehemia Gordon's search for answers leads him to uncover an age-old conspiracy surrounding the Priestly Blessing. Generations of scribes, rabbis, and priests colluded to keep a key part of the Priestly Blessing secret. Centuries of religious agendas and tradition obscured its meaning. Join Bible scholar Nehemia Gordon as he leaves no stone unturned in search of the truth. The clues take him from the peak of Mount Sinai to the battlefields of the Yom Kippur War. Find out what he discovered on 9/11 and venture with him down into the literal “pit of hell.”

In Hebrew Voices, Information Unleashed, Nehemia Gordon explains how the Hebrew Roots of Hanukkah reveal the origin of the pagan ban on God's holy name. Learn how Judah the Maccabee ignored the noise of the multitudes, to stand against the ban and reclaim the true miracle of this holiday by proclaiming His eternal name! This episode is available as a video and as a podcast. Michael wrote: "I called on God for years not knowing His real name and He answered my heart's desire to have a relationship with Him. I now do call on Him by His Hebrew name and my life has changed."

In Hebrew Voices, Why Would I Ever Stop, Nehemia Gordon shares with Dev Daniel his excitement about finding the name "Yehovah" in over 100 newly available Hebrew manuscripts, how this is a game-changer in the debate about God's holy name, and why he came to Israel to continue this earth-shattering research.

In Hebrew Voices, The Historical Pronunciation of Vav, I explain how we know the letter “vav” was historically pronounced as “v”, set the record straight on the Arabic influence that introduced "w" into the Academic pronunciation of Hebrew, and bring the scribal proof that in the time of Ezekiel they pronounced God’s name as Yehovah.

In this episode of Hebrew Voices, The Name of God in the Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, Nehemia Gordon talks about how a Karaite Jew came to study the New Testament in Hebrew, what he discovered regarding God’s name in a Hebrew gospel preserved by Jewish rabbis, and how we know Matthew was originally written in Hebrew.

In this episode of Hebrew Voices, Yehovah Research Update 2018, Nehemia Gordon talks with T-Bone about the staggering number of Hebrew manuscripts they have looked at to date, compared to the number of manuscripts in which they found Yehovah with full vowels. They also share some interesting anomalies regarding the name and touch briefly upon finding Yehovah with full vowels in New Testament Hebrew manuscripts, as well as how Yeshua’s name is written in these documents.

The Name and New Discoveries, Bible scholar Nehemia Gordon on the Name of God, evidence from Hebrew manuscripts, vav or waw, origin of yahweh, meaning of hovah, yahuah theory, Jesus Zeus

In Hebrew Voices, The Name and New Discoveries, Nehemia Gordon shares with Doug Hamp, a fellow alumnus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, some of his new discoveries about the pronunciation of God's holy Name, the "Yehu'ah" theory, and whether the English name "Jesus" has any connection to the Greek deity "Zeus.

The Origins of Yahweh with Nehemia Gordon

In this episode of Hebrew Voices, The Origins of Yahweh, Nehemia Gordon talks about what the Samaritans call God, how they understand His name, and what the pronunciation “Yahweh” may truly mean. This episode is available as a video as well as a podcast.Lowel wrote: “This is an excellent teaching. To understand any idea or concept it is always best to go back to the furthest root, and this is what Nehemia has done so meticulously. Being familiar with the academic world, I know that just because “Super Academics” or everybody says something, that does not make it right... Keep up the good work!”

In this episode of Hebrew Voices, Why it's YEhovah, but HalleluYAh, Nehemia Gordon explains why the vowel in "Yehovah" changes in "Yah" and why people who don't understand this Hebrew rule are pronouncing Yeshua's name wrong. Kiruv wrote: "Thank you for this clear explanation!"

In this episode of Hebrew Voices, A Disastrous Misunderstanding of the Name Yehovah, Nehemia Gordon explains the meaning of Yehovah, the mistake people make thinking it has to do with “destruction”, and how Yahweh in Gnostic sources is the god of chaos. Listen to the short podcast, and then check out the detailed grammatical explanation of how we know Yehovah has nothing to do with the Hebrew word for “destruction”. Suzette wrote: "Forgive me, I was one of those people who knew just enough Hebrew to be dangerous… Thanks for the article!".

In this episode of Hebrew Voices, Is Yahuah a Possible Pronunciation, Bible Scholar Dr. Nehemia Gordon talks with TikTok sensation Nate Petroski about the Hebrew theophoric elements, how Hebrew pronunciation was preserved in Jewish communities, and whether God rejects people’s prayer who mispronounce His name.

In this Support Team Study, The Great 'I AM' Revealed, Nehemia Gordon leaves Hebrew Masoretic manuscripts behind and goes back to the basics of the Hebrew language. In this study Nehemia explains how the ‘I AM’ passage in Exodus 3:14 teaches us the meaning of God's holy Name. We will see how the great ‘I AM’ was understood by ancient Jews and how this is the key to deciphering both the meaning of YHVH and its pronunciation. Lynell wrote: “Fascinating study on The Great 'I am' Revealed. Nehemia Gordon presents empirical evidence rather than theory concerning the name of God. He dispels myths and Facebook made-up Hebrew to reveal the name of Yehovah. Considerable evidence presented with logical thought make this a lecture not to be missed.” Not a member of the Support Team yet? You are invited to watch this special preview of this study.

In Nehemia Gordon's Support Team Study, Wow It's a Vav, lies the truth about the ancient pronunciation of the Hebrew letter Vav! Is it V or W? Is God's holy name Yehovah or Yehowah? Leave opinion behind, as Nehemia Gordon shares never-before seen Hebrew manuscripts and definitive evidence from the Tanakh. After watching this study, you won't have any doubts about this topic.

In Part 1 of Nehemia Gordon's Support Team Study, The Mistake That Got It Right: How Hebrew Scribes Accidentally Revealed the True Pronunciation of God's Holy Name Yehovah, he reveals for the first time all seven instances where the Aleppo Codex contains the full vowels of God's holy name Yehovah, explains the rigorous Masoretic proofreading process employed by ancient Jewish scribes, and exposes errors in the divine title Adonai (Lord) in the widely used Leningrad Codex.

In Part 2 of Nehemia Gordon's Support Team Study, The Mistake That Got It Right: Vampires in Genesis and a Strategy for Hiding the Vowels of the Name Yehovah, Nehemia pulls back the curtain on a series of mysterious dots ancient Jewish scribes placed over certain words in the Hebrew Bible, shows how later Jews misinterpreted these dots as evidence of Vampires in the Book of Genesis, and explains the true historical significance of these dots. Nehemia concludes the study with newly discovered evidence from Hebrew manuscripts of how Jewish scribes could have easily hidden the pronunciation of God's holy name, even when they slipped up by revealing the full vowels.

In Nehemia Gordon's Support Team Study, 10 Rabbis Speak Out on the Name - Part 1, Nehemia Gordon brings evidence from newly discovered Hebrew manuscripts proving that Jewish rabbis preserved the true pronunciation of God's holy name. Nehemia also explains why scholars ignore Jewish sources while searching out every pagan non-Hebrew text they can find.

In Nehemia Gordon's Support Team Study 10 Rabbis Speak Out on the Name - Part 2, Nehemia Gordon brings Jewish sources, never seen before by the English-speaking world. Gentile scholars have plumbed the depths of every pagan and heathen text for centuries to reconstruct the pronunciation of God's holy name. It's time to let the Jews speak!

In Nehemia Gordon's Support Team Study, Jaw-Dropping Revelations from Israel, he talks with Dev Daniel about his adventures with the mysterious T-Bone, a revelation received on a Galilee mountaintop, and the discovery of a large cache of unknown Hebrew manuscripts. Judy wrote: "Wow, this is so amazing, again Nehemia thank you for ALL you do and Share, can't get enough."

In Nehemia Gordon's Support Team Study, Praying to Jupiter, I trace the sources for the misguided pronunciation “Yahweh”, from Josephus through a first-century primer on incantations to the work of 18th and 19th Century European Bible scholars. I also share a quick grammar lesson on the seven conjugations and four prefixes of Hebrew verbs that inform a correct understanding of the name and its pronunciation. Join me on this journey as I trace the confusion back to the Babylonian ecumenical spirit of the Samaritans and the connection to the Roman god Jupiter.

In this Support Team Study, Cutting Through the Confusion from the Show Me State, Nehemia Gordon answers twelve burning questions about the Name of Yehovah. Find out when the vowels were added to the Bible, what Josephus tells us about the Name, and the mystery of the inseparable preposition. Nehemia has also made sure to include a comprehensive source sheet to assist in your study. Not a member of the Support Team yet? You are invited to watch this special preview of this study.

  • Rev. John Edward Kurian says:

    How exactly is the real name of Yehovah pronounced, as well as the real name of: Yeshua?

    • Evelin Carr says:

      Read it as you wrote it. Yeshua’s real nema is actually Yehoshua, it just got shortend to Yeshua around the second Temple period. Like in English – Daniel turns into Dan, Edward to Eddie and so on.

  • Brian Lacey says:

    Regarding the Vav, I have been advised from several other Hebrew speaking people that the Vav cannot serve double duty as the carrier for the cholam, to get the “o” vowel, while also providing the “v” sound simultaneously for the “vah” syllable. Nehemiah, could you please address this issue, thank you so much. I love your teaching style and humility, keep up the awesome work!

    • JACK KAUFFMAN says:

      The first Hey of Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey is the carrier of the Hholam not the Vav in Y’hovah.
      Hope that helps.
      Also the “V” plus Hholam can be found with the first incident of the plural for commandments mits”vo”t in Gen 26:5

    Hi. I dont really think there’s much of a chance of you actually seeing this… but if Yehovah thinks im on the correct path you will.
    I am reading your book Shattering the conspiracy of silance. On page 83 the 12 letter name!!!!! YOD(3+)-HaY(3+)-VAV(3+)-HEY(3=12)!! Also the numbers of apostles.

    By Yehovas grace i pray you get this message if I AM correct.

    Thank you!!! You have been a blessing to me. And pray Yehovah finds his grace on me and i may get to study under you as my rabbi.
    Shalom. And Yehovah’s blessing unto you and yours. Much love.

    Deuteronomy the clean and unclean animals what is the stance of the torah for gentiles for clean and unclean animals

    • Terri Tom says:

      Hi, Scott,
      I highly suggest you go through the Torah and replace God’s Name where it was taken out of Scripture. Start in Genesis 1 and go through the first 5 books. By the time you’re done with that, you can answer your own question without someone else’s opinion getting in the way. That’s what I did.

      Here’s how I did it: Using a white out tape dispenser, I white out “the LORD” where ‘lord’ is all in caps or “GOD” in “the Lord GOD” where ‘God’ is all in caps (those two words replace God’s Name in Scripture. Your Bible probably states that in the front or back.) Then, using a blue pen I write in God’s Name with the vowel points. (I use blue because I wanted it to stand out and blue is a color God chose in several key places, so I use blue. But, any color will work: green is around God’s throne, red is the color of Yeshua’s blood, purple is the color of royalty, etc. Any color you want to use will work just fine.)

      When I did this, my Bible exploded in my eyes. Suddenly, the Life was back in Scripture. It was amazing. When you get done, I’m certain you will know the answer for yourself. I highly recommend it!

      Oh, by the way, it doesn’t take long, either. I started out doing just a chapter a day and then found myself mesmerized by Scripture and did many more simply because I enjoy it.

    • JACK KAUFFMAN says:

      short answer: No difference…
      long answer:
      the term “gentile” modernly used as non-Jew is actually G1672 used in Romans for instance as an Anglicized replacement for Hellen/Greek
      Ἕλλην – Hellēn – hel’-lane
      From G1671; a Hellen (Grecian) or inhabitant of Hellas; by extension a Greek speaking person, especially a non-Jew: – Gentile, Greek.

      Nowhere in the Torah (The instructions given how to live) says there is some who shouldn’t distinguish between clean/unclean set-apart/detestable in fact:

      Numbers 15:15 One law is for you of the assembly and for the stranger who sojourns with you – a law forever throughout your generations. As you are, so is the stranger before Torah.
      Numbers 15:16 One Torah and one right-ruling is for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.’ ”
      Num 15:29  For him who does whatever by mistake there is one Torah, both for him who is native among the children of Yisra’ěl and for the stranger who sojourns in their midst.

    I thought I heard you say within the last two months that of the almost 3000 manuscripts your team checked only one had, yahweh. Which manuscript was that. I believe like you that it must be Yehovah. But in one of my books I said there was no ancient or old manuscript that had the vowels for yahweh. Now I have to change this assertion? — Walter

  • Terry says:

    Hi all,

    Thank you very much for your reply to my last message. As I am putting together a lecture on God’s name I found Nehemia’s information and videos very helpful, however I am still trying to get to the bottom of “what is the earliest manuscript of the New Testament to contain YHWH with the full vowel points ? So far it looks like the Allepo Codex, however as Nehemia has found over 2,000 manuscripts, I would like to know which one is the oldest……that way I can give a lecture with the very latest info.

    I really do appreciate your reply.

    Thank you very much for your help !

    Regards

  • Threinfhir says:

    Thank you for the supporting analysis about haShem YeHoVaH. I am wondering. Could “leolam” (forever) also be part of the Hebrew wordplay of Exodus 3:14-15 (“ehyeh”, “y’hyeh”, “YeHoVaH”, “l’olam”, etc.) Or, are the vowels of “l’olam” and it’s inclusion within the discussion of “ehyeh”, “y’hyeh”, and “YeHoVaH” a coincidence?

    • Paul says:

      The best clue is from 1 John 4:8 – “…God is love.”

      Theory speaking, the Hebrew word for love is ahava… based on noun. If we could take a vowel cue from ahava which is a letter “a”….then we proceed to fill in haShem as in YaHaVaH. First two letters, “ah” looks same context as in “Y-ah.” Afterall, God is love (ahava).

      So there you have it.

      FYI. I’m deaf, and cannot hear the sound, but this helps to see the visual way to recognize who God is.

  • Scott Davis says:

    I believe I once watched a video in which you referenced a prophecy (Jeremiah?) that said in later days the name of Yehovah would be valued by the gentiles, or something to that effect. I’ve been searching for it without success. Is my memory serving me correctly? If so, where is that prophetic reference?
    Thank you for your tremendously valuable service to all of God’s beloved.

      Jer 16:20  Shall a man make unto himself gods, which yet are no gods? 
      Jer 16:21  Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is Yehovah. ASV

  • Kristofer says:

    Hello Nehemia, I thought the Masoretes came up with adding the pronounciation to the letter in the 700-800s. How come you can find medieval sources of the name?

    Thanks for very interesting work!

    • Stephen DeVore says:

      Found: “The medieval era, often called The Middle Ages or the Dark Ages, began around 476 A.D. following a great loss of power throughout Europe by the Roman Emperor. The Middle Ages span roughly 1,000 years, ending between 1400 and 1450.”

  • TERENCE SCOTT says:

    Nehemiah, have you heard from some that there’s a “u” sound to the vav in place of the “w” or “v” sound? Would appreciate it if you could address this as well. Hope I’m not suffering from bias confirmation.

    • One With A New Name says:

      Yes. Also, the 4 letters of the “Ineffable Name” of G-d were not just vowels, they were also consants, AND the picture/sign and/or writing of them could/did change. A true seeker or scholar of The Truth would be well-advised to also take into account things such as graphemes, grammar, lexis, and the fact that Hebrew was literally a dead language for at least 1000 years, amongst other lingustic considerations. G-d’s Name is not written as it is spoken, nor is it really “our place” as humans to go around attempting to “blab” it to everybody. It is THE first Commandment, after all, is it not? I reckon G-d’s Name will be revealed if, and ONLY if, G-d deems any or some of us worthy to understand it when there is a “New Jerusalem”, “New Name of Jesus”, and/or “New Heaven” and “New Earth” as per Revelation in the NT.

      • Stephen DeVore says:

        “Only if the previous spouse dies otherwise it’s considered adultery.” If they were still married, per Romans 7. Compare Tanakh passages that permit divorce and remarriage, and also 1 Corinthians 7. Luke left out what was included in Matthew above, causing confusion among believers; but Luke was a contextualist (such as in Acts which has to be read from beginning to end, and not quoted out of that context) and, per Luke’s introduction, was perhaps expecting believing-readers to be already-familiar with his sources, which according to later writers was at least Matthew whom such writers say wrote first.

      There in nowhere mentioned the Holy NAME of the Father God in bible. Yehovah in Tanach is very Yeshua in the “New Covenant”. We only assume that the Fathers` name is Yehovah due to the fact that Yeshua is the “Only BEGOTTEN” son, thus He inherited the Sacred name from His Father, who is YeHoVaH. Please read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and look for someone who pronounced the Fathers` Name – there is none, not even Jesus. Every time God speaks to man it is the Son Yehovah – Yeshua.

    Mr Nehemia may Yehovah bless your sleuth like efforts to search out Gods name the Almighty of the Universe. But your a bit late lol Jehovahs Witnesses beat you to the punch. Nonetheless your just confirming what they have been teaching and preaching all along.
    Nevertheless you are to be commended for further proving and solidifying the Name of The Greatest Amazing Being in Existence. I thank you for this.
    May the nay sayers agnostics wolves in sheeps clothing extremists who teach Gods name is a mystery or that it should never be used and those haters may they eat their words. Humans people places and things have names, Jesus made Gods name known. God names every star in heaven yet he doesnt have a name? Ludicrous.
    Thank you again Mr Gordon for your passion enthusiasm and desire to uncover Gods name by sorting through all the archeological and literary quagmire.

    There is too much evidence leading to Messiah Yehoshua.

Sorry for my english, if you understand my message with some errors, more is able understand our heavenly Father . Important is call him and make his name sake.

              Just as Jesus is pronounced differently in Spanish, and many names are spelled or pronounced different in differing countries.

          • Paul Case says:

            The English have not pronounced ‘J’ as a ‘Y’ for centuries! They wanted to distinguish themselves from the Old English links with German (Prussian) to create a stronger ‘British’ identity. In some countries JWs have changed the spelling to Yehovah to reflect this fact, but many JWs, like most church-goers in all denominations don’t even know much about their own religion because they don’t bother to learn.

          • Rick Dupperon says:

            Jehovah could be a German take on the name Yehovah .

        • Lyle Paulson says:

          His Hebrew name was “Saul” of Tarsus. He was later known as “Paul”, the apostle. This was acceptable and didn’t cause any problems.

    • Lyle Paulson says:

      Yes. Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society have produced the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. In the English version the form “Jehovah” is used consistently in the Hebrew- Aramaic scriptures as well as the Greek Scriptures. The spelling will vary slightly in accordance with spelling traditions of other languages. From the JW.org site, this Bible as well as several other translations may be freely downloaded. The app JW Library may be downloaded for phones and tablets. In the 2013 edition (soft grey cover) NWT appendix A4 you will find “The Divine Name in the Hebrew Scriptures” and in A5 “The Divine Name in the Christian Greek Scriptures”. There is also the NWT “Study Bible” version which is only available as an “online” edition. This edition, being digital, is able to be “fine-tuned” as improvements in translation are made.

    Hi Nehemiah thanks for your teaching is very good in guidance from Christianity to the truth.. Name for Jewish and name for gentile differs.. What bother me is that some scholars say name gogene [spelling not sure is used for both jews & gentiles….

  • Naama says:

    I know that Jehova witnesses in Israel use the name Yehova in Hebrew for more then 50 years years.andin the world almost 100 years.. so they are right?

    • Ken says:

      They are correct on the name but there are other doctrinal differences compared to mainstream Christian denominations.

  • Franklin Hazle says:

    How will the name be declared so that all can start calling on him personally if they want him as their God?

    • Ken says:

      If you are sincere, You can call on the Father YEHOVAH, and from a Christian viewpoint,
      Yeshua ( Jesus ) told his followers to ask the father in His name ( Yeshua ) when praying? I hope this helps.

    • Joe says:

      As we speak There is a world wide preaching work of Yehovahs kingdom and Jesus as appointed king and messiah.

  • Larry Brandon says:

    Good works! Bless you! Love your teachings, I’m messianic and I enjoy your works. I hope God reveals himself to you but that’s between you and him. Continue to do the good works and I’m sure he’ll give you a divine revelation one day. You’re awesome thank you so much! God is good!

  • Sandy says:

    Nehemia, Is Elohim another name that can be used? Or is that name also incorrect?

    • marcos says:

      Elohim is a title for the most high God, actually means gods, indicating majesty or grandeur, El Eloah, mean God

      • Mark says:

        Let us make man in our own image? Who said it?

      • Michael Payton says:

        El-Moshe called him by Elohim when using a title instead of His name.

        • Ken says:

          How do you explain Exodus 3 v 14 onwards.
          God tells Moshe his True name.
          I am sure as Moses was called the Friend of God, He would have used his name many times when conversing with the most High.
          What does Abba Elohim,
          Mean ?

      • daniel says:

        ‘Elohim’ referring to YHVH means the Majestic Singular “God” – we can tell because of the masculine singular adjective. When speaking of ‘no other gods (elohim)’ the masc. plural adjective is used, so that is the distinction.
        .

      • Deborah says:

        I think Nehemiah teaches that the word “Elohim” is a singular plural word.

  • Sandy says:

    Thank you. I don’t know how to ask this without spelling how I think a name is pronounced. Please forgive me. Is the name that is pronounced Yod hey vav hey the same name as the one that is pronounced Yehovah? If so, does that mean both are spelled Yehovah? I hope that question makes sense. Please be kind. 🙂

    • marcos says:

      Yes YHVH leads to Yehovah

    • Ken says:

      Yud hey vav hey are the four Hebrew letters that
      Spell out the Devine name.
      These are the consonants, the vowel sounds are inferred by notation marks.
      These are what Nehemiah Gordon has found in many original ancient Hebrew manuscripts.
      YHVH Is known as the tetragramaton.
      But with the vowel points,
      it is Pronounced YEHOVAH???

  • Michael Gibson says:

    Nehemia , I listened to The broadcast on Leviticus 16 and you informed everyone that there is an actual place named azazel , I trust your knowledge more but did you know that strong’s actually define’s it as scapegoat? Bless you

  • Wilhelm Wolfaardt says:

    Hi Nehemia, we listed to your two teachings on the pronunciation of the Name Yehovah. Can you perhaps eloborate on the 305 times in the tenach where the vowel pointing is not e o a, but e o i. Sorry, I cannot type Hebrew here.
    Other scholars say this happens when Adonai or Elohim appears immediate before or after the Name of the Almighty.
