Hebrew Voices #134 – Finding the Missing Vowel on 9/11

You are listening to Hebrew Voices with Nehemia Gordon. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon's Makor Hebrew Foundation. Learn more at NehemiasWall.com.

Nehemia: So I didn’t fully realize the significance of this until I was talking to a friend on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, and he says to me, “Do you realize at that very moment that you discovered the name in the Aleppo Codex in two places, just as that was happening thousands of miles across the world, there were people who were flying planes into buildings and shouting out the name of their God.” Because that’s what they do when they wreak havoc and terror, they shout the name of their God. And at that moment, the Creator of the universe, maybe He wanted His name to be known.

Joseph: Shalom, everyone. This is the Kingdom Road Radio Show, and this is your host, Joseph Israel. This is a very exciting show today, because I have a great guest with me, author and Hebrew scholar Nehemia Gordon. Nehemia, thank you for joining us today. Welcome.

Nehemia: Shalom, Joseph, it’s great to be here. Thanks for having me on.

Joseph: This is an honor, Nehemia. The evidence that you put forward in this book that I’m holding up here, Shattering the Conspiracy of Silence, and your online teachings and your website has really been very profound in our little study group community, and we’ve posted some information on our website, Israelapromise.org, that was based on some of your findings over all these years that you’ve been putting together, and recently publishing, in the last decade, a lot of this information.

And I just have to say for all the listeners and people who have been following what I’ve been doing all these years - for almost 20 years I’ve been using the pronunciation Yahweh, and really knowing in myself that this was the true pronunciation of the Father’s name, the Tetragrammaton, and there was very deep attachment to it, and very profound things in my life that happened that led me to understand the Scriptures. But at the end of the day, after weighing all the evidence, we have to look at what the truth is, and coming to really understand these things based on Nehemia Gordon’s research and other things that I found on my own, and with the help of others, Yehovah is accurate, and it is the most accurate that we have based on these ancient texts, and the vocalization and true scholarship, not scholarly guesses.

So Nehemia Gordon, we’re here today to really talk about this, and of course, there are people who are going to be against what we’re going to bring out today, but we’re not worried about them. But we want to open their mind, because before I ask you anything I want to say - I bought this book, and I challenge anyone. I personally bought this book because I wanted to find the loophole in his reasoning. I wanted to be able to prove Nehemia Gordon wrong, but I wanted to do it in a real way. I didn’t want to do it based on a theory of man but based on true scholarship. And of course, me living in America and learning Hebrew in my 20s and 30s would be able to understand more than someone that speaks Hebrew every day and has given their life to understanding it, of course. But no, I was wrong. And we have to admit when we’re wrong. And so, Nehemia, I’m very excited to ask you a few questions that people keep asking me about this.
