YHVH Meaning - Definition

“YHVH the Secret name of God”

  By Kenneth Martin

1:1 “The Proto and Paleo Origins of God “YHVH ELoHYiM”

The name of God and Deity Motifs are very old, originating in the Prehistory Era (before -3400 BC).

Hence, my research focuses on the earliest records; Neolithic Pictographics (pre-alphabetics), Proto Sumerian Cuneiform and Paleo Hebrew. 

The “Hebrew Codec” is a summary of what Jews teach in secret.

.1 By what name did Abram call God?

Genesis 11:31; And Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter in Law, the wife of Abram his son and went forth with them “from Ur of the Chaldeans**” to go to the land of Canaan, and they came as far as Haran and settled there.

Genesis 11:31, places Abram in the Third Dynasty of “Ur of the Chaldeans”. 

When “Ur” was the capital of Sumer.

Abram was a Sumerian.

Abram’s and the Jewish people’s Homeland is Sumer.

Moreover, Abam's God and Temple originated in Ur Sumer.

* Research; “Neo Sumerian Ziggurat of Ur (Temple)”, “Neo Sumerian Ziggurat of Eridu (Temple)”, “Mesopotamian Deities”, “Sumerian Kings list”, and “Eridu Genesis”.  

** Chaldeans means “Earth Tillers, gardeners”.

1:3 The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning for Lord, Hebrew; “YHVH”.

In ancient Hebrew “Every name tells a story”.

Reading right to left;

“Y” Yod, symbolizes; “Sky”

“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man” (hands pointing to the sky)

“V” Vah (Wos), symbolizes; “Light” (Bright Shining Daylight)

“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man” (hands pointing to the sky)

YHVH symbolizes; Sky, Man, Light, Man 

“YHVH” is paraphrased as; “Sky Deity".

A “Deity (Daylight)”; “Is the personification of the light from the sun”. And is manifested by storms "lightning" and thunder. 

* Research; “List of Sky Deities”, and "List of Light Deities".

You may have to zoom down your page size to see the entire “Table of Letters” chart. Hebrew is the furthest right column.

If on a phone scroll down to "Tables of Letters" and select, then swipe to the left to see the Hebrew. 

The "Proto-Sinatic Script" and "Phoenician Alphabet" are prerequisites to understanding the “Hebrew Codec”.

1. Moses was born in Egypt, raised in Egypt, hence spoke and wrote Egyptian.

And the Hebrew had spent the past 430 years in Egypt, and spoke Egyptian. 

Moreover, in the days of Moses, the Levant was Egypt. The Levant had their own dialect of the Egyptian language.

Yah and YHVH were from the Levant's Proto Semitic dialect of the Egyptian language. 

Summary; The Hebrew Language originated from the Levant's Proto Semitic dialect of Egyptian Hieroglyphs.

.2 Linguistic Etymology;

“Sky” in Hebrew is “Shamayim”.

Sha Ma Yi M;

“Sha” symbolizes;  “Of”

“Ma” symbolizes; “Water”

“Y” symbolizes; “Sky”

“Mem” symbolizes; plural of the Y (Yod); “Skies”

Sha Ma Yim symbolizes; Of, Water, Sky, Plural

Shamayim is paraphrased as; “Skies Of Water” (Rain Clouds) (Firmament).  

Shamayim  = Rain Clouds

The theme of the Tanakh and New Testaments is “gods are descending from the clouds and men are ascending to the clouds. Moveover, these Rain Clouds give life to the earth or punish men for their sins.  

Compare the “Y” yod in “YHVH” to the “Y” yod in “Shamayim”;

The “Y” yod in YHVH, and the “Y” yod in ShaMaYim both mean “Skies".

* In your Tanakh or Bible, cross out “heaven” and replace it with “Rain Clouds”. 

In Shamayim original context;

Heaven = Rain Clouds

From YHVH and Shamyim we can extrapolate; 

“Y”HVH; “Sky, Man, Light, Man (Sky Deity)

ShaMa-”Yim”; “Skies Of Water” (Rain Clouds)  

.3 The “H” (Heh) in Abraham.

Father in Hebrew is “Abba (Avva)”.

First in Hebrew is “Rashait (Beginning)”.

AV Ra Ham;

Av (Abba) symbolizes “father”

Ra symbolizes “first”

Ha symbolizes “man”

Mem symbolizes the plural of the “H” (Heh) "Men"

Avraham symbolizes; Father, First, Man, Plural

Avraham paraphrases as “First Father of Men” (Father of the nations).

From ShaMaYim and AbRaHam we can extrapolate; 

“Y” (the yod) symbolizes “Sky”.

“H” (the heh) symbolizes “man”.

Yah = “Sky Man”

4. Even in the Alphabetics Era (beginning -2000 BC), we can break down almost every Hebrew word and name into its; root word, prefixes and suffixes as; 

Water in Hebrew is Maim (Mem Yod Mem).

Moses in Hebrew is “MaShe” or Moshe;

MaShe;

Ma symbolized; “Water”

She symbolized; “Of”

MaShe symbolized; Water, Of

MaShe paraphrased as; “Of the Water (From the Water)”. 

Comparing the “S” shin in Shamayim to the “S” shin in Moshe;

Sha Ma Yim symbolizes; Of, Water, Sky, Plural (Skies Of Water)

Ma She symbolized; Water, Of (Of the Water) or “From the Water”. 

.5 From YHVH, Shamayim, Abraham and Mashe (Moses) we can extrapolate;

“Y” (Yod) symbolizes “Sky”

“H” (Heh) symbolizes “Man”

“M” (Mem) symbolizes “Water”

“S” (Shin) symbolizes “Of”

“M” (Mem) as a suffix is the Plural of the character it follows. 

It’s just that “Plain and Simple”.

Mainline Judaism translations are; “Literal, Plain and Simple”. 

Pharisee Rabbinical Traditions are; “Mystical, Complicated and Disorderly (more often Rebellious)”, hence the YHVH's “Tetragrammaton”.

.6 Hebrew Assimilation into the Proto-Sinatic, Phoenician and Egyptian cultures; 

Exodus 6:2-3 and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as El Shaddai (Priest Deity), but by My name "YHVH" I made Me not known to them.

Moses was born in Egypt, raised as an Egyptian, hence fluently spoke the Egyptian language. 

Moreover, the Hebrews were in Egypt for 430 years, and their daily language was Egyptian.

In Exodus 6:2-3 Moses was translating the old Mesopotamia An (Anu)  to “YHVH” in the Levant's Proto Semitic dialect of the Egyptian language.

An (Anu) = Yah (YHVH) 

Abraham called God “An or Anu (Sky Man - Sky Deity).

500 years later, Moses led the Hebrews to call God in the Levant Proto-Sinatic dialect of the Egyptian language; “YHVH (Sky Man - Sky Deity)”.

Different Languages, same meaning, and same motif of "Sky Gods and Sky Deities".

1:4 The Elohim;

The original Neolithic Pictographic  meaning of Moses’ God, Hebrew; Elohim (ALHYM/ ELoHYiM) , and in Arabic “Allah”.

Reading right to left;

“A” Alef symbolizes; “Ox (Priest)” Bull of Heaven

“L” Lamid, symbolizes; Staff; “Leads”

“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man” (pointing to the sky)

“Y” Yod, symbolizes; “Sky”

“M Mem, as suffix symbolizes “multitudes”, plural of the Yod, as; Skies.

“ALH-YM” (ELoHYiM) symbolizes; “Ox (Priest)* – Staff – Man – Sky – Multitudes.”

“AaLoH-YiM” (ELoHYiM/ Elohim) paraphrased as; “Priest Leads Man (to) Skies. 

In Sumerian and Hebrew "Alo (Elo)" as a prefix or suffix in a name paraphrase “Priestly Ruler”.

The original Elohim were "Ruling Priests" who descended from the sky (clouds).

In Sumerian, then Hebrew cultures, the highest position was the “High Priest”, there were no kings. 

Who forecast the dates and hour for the seasons and feasts.

Early astrologers believed the stars were gods ruling from the clouds. 

"YHVH Elohim" paraphrases as;  "Sky Deity High Priest".

.1 The first time the Elohim appears anywhere in the Middle East is on the “Sumerian Kings List” and the “Sumerian Tablets”;

SKL 1:1 “After the kingship descended from the sky, the kingship was in Eridu. In Eridu, “Alulim (Elolim) became king.”

Alulim symbolizes ”Priest Leads Leaders”.

Alulim paraphrases as; “High Priest” of tribal leaders.

Sumerian Alu = Hebrew Alu (Elo)

The sons of Alulim were called;  “Alumites (Elomites/ Elamites)”.

Sumarian Alulim sons = Hebrew Alohim (Elohim) Sons of God.

Abraham was an Elomite (Elamite). Elomites were descendants of Alulim, Anlil (Enlil) Ankil (Enkil) and Seth.

The Sumerian Motif of "Alulim and his sons (Enlil and Enkil) descending from the sky" is the same as Genesis 1 - 6 where the "Elohim descend from the sky".

* Many scholars equate; Adam to Alulim, Able to Enlil, and Cain to Enkil (Canaanites).

As the Sumerian sons of Alulim, the Hebrew Elohim were also “Ruling Priestly Astrologers”.

Moreover, as the Sumerians, the Hebrews also had Priestly Rulers, until 

King Saul and King David.

And many of the Priests and Kings of Israel had the prefixes and suffixes “Alu (Elo)” tying them to Alulim (Elolim) and his sons, as “Ruling Priests”. 

Similar names, same motifs.

.2 Research; The original creation motifs; Sumerian “Eridu Genesis”, and Akkadian “Emuna Elis”

Do a Comparative Study of the names and motifs, in the Sumerian Tablets, Akkadian Tablets and Moses’ Genesis. 

The original Mesopotamian meaning for  “Allah” is: “Priest of man”. 

.3 Summary of God’s specific title and name “YHVH ALHYM (Elohim)”;  

“YHVH;  Sky Man - Light Man -> “Sky Deity”.

ShaMaYim: Skies of Water -> “Rain Clouds”.

ALH”YiM” (AaLaH-YiM/ Elohim); Priest Leads, Man (to) Skies -> “High Priest”. 

It’s "Literal, Plain and Simple". 

1:5 The original  Neolithic Pictographic meaning of Moses’ God as; “AHYH”;

AHYH is the specific title and name of God as; “High Priest of Deities”. “AHYH” is first used in Exodus 3:14.

“A” Alef, symbolizes; “Ox” (Priest) Bull of Heaven
“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man”
“Y” Yod,  symbolizes; “Sky”
“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man”

AHYH symbolizes; Priest, Man, Sky, Man.

AHYH is paraphrased; “High Priest of Deities”.

or

"AH" symbolizes "Priesthood".

And "YH" (Yah) Symbolizes "Sky Deity".

AHYH can be paraphrased; “High Priest of Deities.”

Often when “AH” is used as a prefix or suffix in a person's name, it symbolizes “High Priesthood”.

Exodus 3:14; Moses said to God, “When I come to the Israelites and say to them; ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you’ and they ask me, 

‘What is His name? What shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses 

“AHYH Asher".

 AHYH” he continued. 

“Thus shall you say to the Israelites “AHYH sent me to you.” 

Moses was translating Assyrian "Ashur" to the Levant's Proto Semitic dialect of the Egyptian language "AHYH". 

.1 Assyrian Cuneiform Anshur = Hebrew Asher

Research; “Wikipedia;  “Assur in cuneiform”, note the star (an) symbolizing deity.  

An ( Anu) was a god of the Mesopotamian; Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Bablonians, Canaanites, Eblate, Elamite, Hittite, Hurrian, Luwian, Urartian, Palaic, Aramaic, and Old Persians.

“Anshur (Asher)” was a god of the Assyrians.

Anshur (Asher);

An* symbolizes  “Sky Man” (Sky Deity)

Sh symbolizes “of”

R symbolizes “First”

Asher symbolizes; Sky Man, Of, First

Asher paraphrases as;  "First of the Sky Deities" or "High Priest of Deities".

* Research "Anshur (King of the Sky Gods)"

Ansher -> Asher (Assyr, Assyrians).

Assyrian "Asher (High Priest of Deities) = Hebrew "AHYH (High Priest of Deities)".

Asher = AHYH

Different Languages, same meaning.  

"AHYH" was the Levant's Proto Semitic dialect of the Egyptian language for Assyrian "Asher".

The Ashurim*/ Ashurot, (Asherah Poles) that are mentioned in the Tanakh were to honor Anshur (King of the Sky Gods).

* Ashurim or Ashurot in Hebrew is Not Feminine.

Or

An symbolized Deity, and Sar symbolized Ruler, hence “Deity Ruler”

.2 Moses and the Israelis were assimilating into the Levant's culture.

Sky Deity = An = Yah (YH-VH) 

High Priest of Sky Deities = Anshur = AHYH 

The Elders called God An and Ashur, and the young who assimilated into the Levant culture called God YHVH and AHYH.

What the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Caananites and Hebrews had 

in common, they all share the motif of a "Sky Man descending from the sky (clouds)".

Ashur was the eight son of Jacob 500 years before Moses.

.3 Asherah (Wife of Asher);

Asher’ah is the feminine of Asher.

Assyrian Anshurah = Hebrew  Asherah

An* symbolizes  “Deity” (Sky Man)

Sh symbolizes  "of"

Comparing Asherah to Sarah;

Asher ->Ashurah -> Sarah

Sarah; 

“Sar” symbolizes; "Ruler" 

“aH”  symbolizes; “ Feminine”

Sarah paraphrases as “Queen”.

Similar languages, same meaning, and the same motif.

Perhaps “Morning Fog” that ascends to the sky”.

Abraham, Maraym and Israel were Egyptian in origin. That they originated during or after their captivity in Egypt (earliest date; -1300 BC).

YHVH Meaning - Definition

1:6  The last king of the Sumerian Kings List was “Noah (Ziusudra)”.   Ziusudra was the Sumerian name for Noah. 

* Research; "Ziusudra” and “Atra-Hasis” was the Akkadian name for Noah in the Akkadian Tablets.* Research; “Atra-Hasis”

Moses’ accounts of creation and the flood originated from the motifs of the “Epic of Ziusudra (Noah)” and the “Epic of Gilgamesh”. 

Compare; The Sumerian Tablets and Akkadian Tablets to Moses’ Genesis. 

* Research; “Epic of Ziusudra,” “Epic of Gilgamesh (Utnapishtim),” “Epic of Atrahasis,” “Deucalion,” and “Flood Myth Historically.”

Abram’s bible was the "Sumerian Tablets";

* Bibles are “written accounts of history, religion, and laws”. 

The formulation and the establishment of a legend is: “an ancestor (or hero), time, and distance”. 

Hence, Historians, Archaeologists and Anthropologists, search for the “oldest artifacts and documents” which are usually the most accurate. That, from the oldest artifact on, there is a progression of ancestors (or heroes) who became legends and myths.  

.1 Thinking outside of the Bible Box.

Most scholars are in the Bible Box, that timelines must be less than 5,700 years from the Biblical Creation narrative. 

Most Middle Eastern Archaeologists use Hieroglyphic and the beginning of their civilizations 12,000 BC, as the beginning of their timeline.  

I use the Scientific Dating of the Writing Systems and the Linguistics rather than the Biblical Box narrative, thus are much earlier dates.  Moreover, I used the earliest dates of the writing systems. 

.2 History of Bibles;

* Dating was established from the Writing Systems, Linguistics, and Archeological Artifacts. 

-3400 BC “Historical Era begins.” 

-3400 BC Egyptian Hieroglyphs (First bibles) 

-3300 BC Sumerian Tablets (second bible); “Eridu Genesis (original book of Genesis)” and the “Epic of Gilgamesh” predate Moses by 2000 years. 

-3200 BC Akkadian Tablets, Enuma Elish (Third Bible)

-3100 BC, Canaanite Ebla Tablets (Forth Bible), note these tablets (bibles) predate Abraham by 1300 years. 

-2000 BC Canaanite Mari Tablets*.

-2000 BC Canaanite Alalakh Tablets*.

-2000 BC Canaanite Amarna Tablets*.

* (combined to form a Fifth bible)

-1950 BC Abraham born 

 -1940 BC Destruction of Ur, Gen 11:31 Abram flees to Canannan

-1850 BC Simmion’s Ark Tablet (Sixth Bible)

-1800 BC Atra Hasis Account of Genesis (Seventh Bible)

-1650 BC Hittite Tablets (Eight Bible). 

-1600 BC Hittites Inscriptions (Ninth Bible)

-1350 Moses leads Israel out of Egypt

-1300 BC Ugaritic Texts were written, “One thousand five hundred (1500) Ugaritic Texts, plus the Epic Poems” (Tenth Bible) in Cuneiform. Contemporary parallel of the Torah.

* From -3300 BC to -1300 BC, all the bibles were in Cuneiform.

-1300 BC, Moses begins to write the Torah. Begins the “Jewish Historical Age”. (Ninth Bible).

Moses’ accounts were 2000 years after the Sumerian Tablets. Hence, 

Moses’ Genesis originated from the Sumerian motif of God, creation and the flood, and would have been influenced by the ten previous bibles.

Everyone had their own version whose god was "the creator" and whose priests would be the rulers of the earth. 

Moses created the latest greatest and most modern creation motif. And with legends, myths and motifs, Moses’ Sky Deity exceeded all previous sky deities becoming the celestial (Deiwos -> YeHWoh) “Pre-existent Creator God” who speaks the universe into existence in “six earth days”.  

.3 The original Sumerian script had over 2800 characters. 

Each pictograph represented an ox, deer, man, house etc...

Around 2000 BC, the Egyptian, Phonecian, Canaanite and Sumeian scripts were abbreviated to 28 characters to modern Paleo - Alphabet  scripts, of which vocalized words. 

My research focuses on “Proto and Paleo Pictographics,” pre alphabetics.

1:7 The “Sumerian Anuna” were the Hebrew “Elohim* gods of creation” in Genesis 1-6;

Cloud in Sumerian Cuneiform is “Anun”, and Cloud in Hebrew is “Anan”.

Sumerian Anun = Hebrew Anan 

Translating from Sumarian An to YHVH Elohim, the Israelis were assimilating into western culture. 

Sky Deity = An = Anshur (Asher) = YHVH 

Same motifs of “Descending from the clouds” and “Kings of the clouds”.

Anuna = Elohim

“Anunnaki” were the “Elohim” in the Akkadian Tablets  

Gen 1:26, “Let us make man in our image.”

According to the Sumerian and Akkadian Tablets; The Anuna (Elohim) of Genesis were; “Anu*, Anlil (Enlil), Anki (Enki), Ninhursag, Nanna, Utu, and Inanna” (The Seven gods who Decree) 

* An and Anu are the personifications of the sky. “An” as a prefix of  a name shows Deity (Sky Man). 

“An” lil (Sky deity of Rulers), 

“An”ki (Sky deity of Earth).

As Adam in the Tanakh, Alulim, Ankil, Anlil, “descended from the Sky”.

Research; “Anu” and “List of Mesopotamian Deities.”

Do a comparative study of the names in the Sumerian Tablets, Akkadian Tablets and Moses’ Genesis. 

The scribes Superimposed their kings, local towns and culture into the Motifs.

Sumerian An (Sky Man) -> Anlulim -> Anlil (Enlil) and Anki (Enki) -> Anshur (Asher) -> Alohyim (Elohyin/ Elohim)

The Hebrews assimilated into the Egyptian culture.  

Same motifs of “descending from the sky”, and similar pronunciations. 

1:8 Historical Gaps;

1. Historical Gap 1 (Oral Era); 

Was from the Stone Age, until the Historical Age (-3400 BC).

.2 Historical Gap 2: 

From the time Abram left Sumeria, God’s name and Jewish history was orally kept for 500 years, thru 15 generations while slavery in Egypt. 

.3 Historical Gap 3

From the time of the fall of The Second Temple in Jerusalem and the deaths of all Jewish Priests (70 AD), until the beginning of the writing of the Talmud, there was a 200 year gap, of which God was forgotten, and the Hebrew language was lost.

1:9 Archaeological Chronological Review; 

* Dating was established from the writing systems, linguistics and archeological artifacts. 

-1300 Abecedaries (Abecedarius/ Abecedarium) scripts dated. 

-1300 BC, Moses begins to write the Torah, begins the “Jewish Historical Age” (Eighth Bible).  Moses wrote in the Proto-Sinatic dialect of the Egyptian Alphabetics (Aka Paleo Hebrew Script).”

-587 BC Destruction of Solomon's Temple.

-516 BC The Second Temple was built.

-400 BC, Genesis Project, begins the translation of Cuneiform Tablets to the Proto Semitic dialect of the Egyptian language (Paleo Hebrew). 

Birth of Jewish Monotheism.

- 375 BC the five books of the Torah were translated and canonized (into five scrolls), created from Cuneiform Tablets and hundreds of fragments. 

-300 BC Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest archaeological evidence of “Paleo Hebrew”.  

-285 BC, the Greek Septuagint LXX, the Greek translation of the Torah, used; “Theos Kyrios” (Lord God) to describe YHVH ALHYM; 

Theos Kyrios is Paraphrased as “Light Deity - First Earth Deity” and is used in the Septuagint (-285 BC). 

-150 BC, Hasmonean Dynasty begins (Sadducees).

- 150 BC, Jewish Tanakh begins to be translated and canonized. First time their Proto Semitic dialect of the Egyptian language was called “Hebrew”.

-3rd century BC to -1st century CE (AD), Dead Sea Scroll Hebrew, 

70 CE (AD) Fall of the Second Temple and the slaughter of all Jewish Priests: Sadducees, Pharisees and all reputable religious leaders. 

250 AD, Masoretic Text Hebrew/ Rabbinic Hebrew. 

Chapter 7 Summary; 

The Tanakh is a translation. 

From Cuneiform to the Proto-Sinatic script.

What is called “Paleo Hebrew” today was actually the Proto-Sinatic Script, a dialect of the Egyptian Alphabetics.

The translation was done in the second Temple era.
