“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.
.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.
Hence, Abam's God originated from the “Kingdom of Sumer.”
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)” and “Mesopotamian Deities”.
** Chaldeans means “Earth Tillers, gardeners”.
1:2 The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning of Moses’ God as; “YHVH ALHYM”;
“YHVH” is Moses’ God’s “Specific title/ name”, further describing ALHYM (Elohim).
“YHVH” distinguishes God from all the other Elohim.
Genesis 2:4, is the first time “YHVH” is used in the Torah. Henceforth, Moses called God; “YHVH ALHYM”, specific as “The God of Abraham”, always singular.
1:3 The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning for Lord, Hebrew; “YHVH”.
In ancient Hebrew “Every name tells a story”;
“Y” Yod, symbolizes; Sky
“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man” (pointing to the sky)
“V” Vah (W/ Oo), symbolizes; “Bright Shining”
“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man” (pointing to the sky)
YHVH symbolizes; “Sky, Man, Shining, Man”
“YHVH” is paraphrased as; “Bright Shining Sky Man or Sky Deity”
YaH (Sky Man) is a “Sky Deity”.
“Sky Deities” are the personification of the Sky Father, manifested by storms, wind, lightning and thunder.
YHVH originated in Ugaritic Cuneiform and was translated into Paleo Poenician (-1350 BC).
Paleo Poenician = Paleo Hebrew.
* Research; “List of Sky Deities”.
* Research; “Yahweh”.
Research; Wikipedia, “Phonecian Alphabet - Tables of Letters”.
STOP! Do not proceed! The; “Wikipedia; Phonecian Alphabet - Tables of Letters” is a prerequisite to understanding the “Hebrew Codec”.
* You may have to zoom down your page size to see the entire “Table of Letters” chart. Hebrew is the furthest right column.
.1 “Sky” in Hebrew is “Shamayim”.
Sha Ma Yi M;
Sha = Of
Ma = Water
Y = Sky
Mem = plural of the Y (Yod); “Skies”
Sha Ma Yim symbolizes; Of, Water, Sky, Plural
Shamayim is paraphrased as; “Skies Of Water” (Clouds) (Firmament).
Heaven = Clouds
The theme of the Tanakh and New Testaments is “gods are descending from the clouds and men are ascending to the clouds.
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".
God’s specific title and name “YHVH Elohim”;
“Y”HVH; “Sky, Man, Shining, Man (Bright Shining Sky Man or Sky Deity)"
ShaMa-”Yim”; “Skies Of Water” (Clouds)
.2 The “H” (Heh) in Abraham.
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” (First father of the nations).
From ShaMaYim and AbRaHam we can extrapolate;
“Y” (the yod) symbolizes “Sky”.
“H” (the heh) symbolizes “man”.
Yah = “Sky Man”
3. 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;
Moses in Hebrew is “MaShe” or Moshe;
MaShe;
Ma = Water
She = Of
MaShe symbolized; Water, Of
MaShe paraphrased as; “Of 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”.
.4 From YHVH, ShaMaYiM, Abraham and MaShe we can extrapolate;
“Y” (Yod) symbolizes “Sky”
“H” (Heh) symbolizes “Man”
“M” (Mem) symbolizes “Water”
“S” (Shin) symbolizes “Of”
And the “M” (Mem) as a suffix is the Plural of the character it follows.
It’s just that “Plain and Simple”.
1:4 The Elohim;
The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning of Moses’ God, Hebrew; Elohim “ALHYM” (Elohim/ ELoHYiM) , and in Arabic “Allah”.
Reading right to left;
A, Alef, symbolizes; Ox (Bull of Sky*).
L, Lamid, symbolizes; Staff; “Leads”
H, Heh, symbolizes; Man (pointing to the sky).
Y, Yod, symbolizes; “Sky** (Clouds)”.
M, Mem, as suffix symbolizes “multitudes”, plural of the Yod, as; Skies (Clouds).
“ALH-YM” (ELoHYiM) symbolizes; “Ox* – Staff – Man – Sky – Multitudes.”
“AaLoH-YiM” (ELoHYiM) paraphrased as; “Priest, Leads, Man, (to) Sky (Clouds, Heavens, home of the gods).
The original Elohim were "Ruling Priestly Astrologers".
* Early astrologers believed the stars were gods ruling from the clouds.
** The “Ox” Bull of Sky/ Bull of Heaven) is an astrological sign for the spring planting season.
Compare Hebrew Ox (Bull of Heaven) to the Greek"Taurus" bull.
.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 paraphrases as; ”Ruler of Leaders”
The Alu of Alulim meaning “Ruler”, implies he was the “Ruling Priestly Astrologer”.
Sumerian ALu = Hebrew Alu (Elo)
The sons of Alulim were called; “Alumites (Elomites/ Elamites)”.
Sumarian Alulim sons = Hebrew Alohim (Elohim);
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".
Abraham was an Elomite (Elamite) a descendent of Alulim, Anlil (Enlil) and Ankil. Enkil).
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 Priestly Astrologers”.
Same motifs, similar names.
Research; The original creation stories; Sumerian “Eridu Genesis”, and Akkadian “Emuna Elis”
Do a comparative study of the names in the Sumerian Tablets, Akkadian Tablets and Moses’ Genesis.
The original Mesopotamian meaning for “Allah” (AaLaH) is: “Ruler of man”.
Abraham was an Elomite (Elamite) a descendent of Alulim, Anlil (Enlil) or Ankil (Enkil).
Alu (Elo) was a God of the Sumerians*, Akkadians, Assyrians, Bablonians, Canaanites, Eblates, Elomites, Hittites, Hurrians, Luwians, Urartian, Palaic, Aramaic, and Old Perians.
* Sumerian; Abraham was a Sumerian.
.2 Summary of God’s specific title and name “YHVH ALHYM”;
“Y”HVH; “Bright Shining Sky Man or Sky Deity”
ShaMa-”Yim”: Skies of Water
ALH”YiM”; (AaLaH-YiM/ Elohim) Ruler Leads, Man, (to) Skies (Sumerian Astrology Priests).
Yah was the “Sky Deity”.
And the Elohim were “Ruling Priestly Astrologers”
* In your Tanakh or Bible, cross out “heaven” and replace it with “clouds”.
Shamayim = Clouds
1:5 The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning of Moses’ God as; “AHYH”;
AHYH is the specific title and name of God as; “Most High”. “AHYH” is first used in Exodus 3:14.
A Alef, symbolizes; Ox*, (Bull of Sky)
H Heh, symbolizes; Man
Y Yod, symbolizes; Sky
H Heh, symbolizes; Man
AHYH symbolizes; Ox, Man, Sky, Man.
AHYH is paraphrased; “Bull of Heaven Sky Deity”.
AH symbolizes the "Bull of Heaven" constellation.
And YH (Yah) Symbolizes "Sky Deity".
* In the Sumerian Tablets, AH was the "Bull of Heaven".
.1 The Neolithic Pictographic meaning of; “AHYH-Asher-AHYH:
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.”
Abraham was an Elamite (Elomite) a descendent of Alulim, Anlil (Enlil)or Ankil. Enkil).
* Mesopotamian Cuneiform Anshur = Hebrew Asher
Research; “Wikipedia; Assur” in cuneiform, note the star (an) symbolizing deity.
“Anshur (Asher)” was a god of Mesopotamia the; Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Bablonians, Canaanites, Eblate, Elamite, Hittite, Hurrian, Luwian, Urartian, Palaic, Aramaic, and Old Perians.
Anshur (Asher);
An* symbolizes “Sky Man” (Deity)
Sh symbolizes “of”
R symbolizes “First”
Asher symbolizes; Sky Man, Of, First
Asher paraphrases as; “First of Sky Man”.
* Research Anshur (King of the Gods)
Ansher -> Asher (Assyr, Assyrians).
The Ashurim*/ Ashurot, (Asherah Poles) that are mentioned in the Tanakh were to honor the Anshur (first king who descended from the Sky).
* Ashurim or Ashurot in Hebrew is Not Feminine.
Or
An symbolized Deity, and Sar means King, hence “Deity King”
Asher Pole was a “Deity King Pole”, showing authority.
In Exodus 3:14, Moses was transliterating Mesopotamia “Anshur” to the new modern title “YHVH” (Sky Deity).
Moses and the Israelites were assimilating into western culture.
Proto Sky Man -> An -> Yah
the personifications of the sky, manifested by wind, storms, lightning and thunder.
Sumerians, Akkadians and Canaanites called their sky deity “An” (Anshur).
And the Hebrews called their sky deity “YaH”.
The Indo Europeans called their sky deity Zeus (Dyeus).
Same meaning, different languages.
Sumerians, Akkadians and Canaanites called their sky deity “An” (Ansur).
The Indo Europeans called their sky deity Zeus (Dyeus). And the Hebrews called their sky deity “YaH (Deiwos)”.
The meaning of the title “AHYH Asher AHYH” is;
AHYH = Bull of Heaven Sky Deity
Asher = God of the Assyrians, Akkadians and Canaanites
AHYH = Bull of Heaven Sky Deity
The title “AHYH Asher AHYH” paraphrased as;
“Bull of Heaven Sky Deity”, Asher, “Bull of Heaven Sky Deity”.
AHYH = AnShur
* “Anshur (Asher)” was the sky deity of the Assyrians, Akkadians and Canaanites.
In the days of Moses there were two great kingdoms, Egypt and Assyria. The Hebrews feared they would leave Egypt only to be slaughtered by the Assyrians. God wanted to comfort the Hebrews not to fear the Assyrians, that he was also the God of the Assyrians, Akkadians and Canaanites.
Ashur is also the eight son of Jacob.
.2 Asherah (Wife of Asher);
Assyrian Anshurah = Hebrew Asherah
An* symbolizes “Deity” (Sky Man)
Sh symbolizes "of"
Ra symbolizes "First"
H symbolizes "man" (H as a suffix often symbolizes Feminine).
Asher’ah symbolizes as; An, Of, First, Man (Feminine)
Asherah paraphrased as “First Lady of the Anshur clan” or “Queen of Heaven (Clouds)”.
What the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Caananites and Hebrews had in common, they all share the motif of a "Sky Man descending from the sky"
Moreover, the motif of "Sky Man descending from the sky" predated Moses by 2000 years, there was nothing unique about the Hebrew YHVH Deity in -1300 BC.
Comparing Asherah to Sarah;
Sarai symbolizes; Sar = Queen, Ra = first, and the Yod = Sky
Sarah paraphrases as “First Queen of Sky” or “Queen of Heaven (Clouds)”.
Asherah (Ansherah*) also paraphrases “First Queen of Sky” or “Queen of Heaven (Clouds)”.
ASherah* = Hebrew Sarah
* “First Queen of Sky” of theAkkadians, Assyrians, Caananites
Similar languages, same meaning, and the same motif.
.4 Abraham was the most honored forefather of Judaism;
AV Ra Ha M;
AV = father (Abba)
Ra* = first
Ha = man
M = plural of the Ha (man) men
AV Ra Ha M symbolizes; Father, First, Man, Plural
Avraham paraphrases as; “First Father of the nations”
It’s interesting to note “Abram” and “Abraham” are Titles, rather than the typical origin name (town or city), or occupational names (Smith or Baker). It’s possible that when the Torah was written, they had forgotten (lost) his real name, or did not want to give his Sumerian name.
.5 Marayim (Miriam or Mary);
Ma = water
Ra = first
Yi = Sky
Mem Plural of the Yod “Skies”
M R Y M Symbolizes; Water, First , Sky, Plural
Marayim (Mary) paraphrases as; “First Water (to) Skies” or “Spring of water to the sky ”. 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).
.6 Comparative Pictographic Symbolism;
Y H V H symbolizes; “Bright Shining Sky Man or Sky Deity”
A H Y H symbolizes; Ox, Man, (to) Sky, Man.
“Ha V” ah symbolizes; Man Earth feminine
“A L H-Y M” (ELoHYiM) symbolizes; “Ox,, Staff, Man, Sky, Multitudes.”
Sha Ma Yim symbolizes; “Of, Water, Sky, Plural”
Mo She symbolizes; “Water, Of”
AV Ra Ha M symbolizes; “Father, First, Man, Plural”
From these names we can extrapolate;
Y yod symbolizes Sky
H heh symbolizes man
M symbolizes water
M mem as a suffix symbolizes plural of the letter it follows
.7 The original meaning of the name “Israel”;
I S Ra EL
I yod* = “Sky”
S shin = “of”
Ra rosh = “First”
E (Alef) = “Ox”
L** = “Staff”
Israel is symbolizes; “Sky, Of, First, Ox, Staff”
Israel is paraphrased as; “First Ruler of the Sky” or “El Kings of the Sky”
*Asher paraphrases as; “First of Sky” or “First of Ansher”
Compare Hebrew “Israel” to Assyrian “Ansher” (Asher), they both paraphrases as; “First rule of the Sky”.
An = El
Different languages, same meaning.
.8 Judah;
Yu Da H
Y = Sky
D = Door
H = Man
Yudah symbolized; Sky, Door, Man
Yudah paraphrases as; “Man’s Gateway to the Sky (Priests of Yah)”
.9 LeVi;
Le symbolizes Staff
Vi symbolizes Earth
LeVi symbolized as “Staff, Earth”
LeVi paraphrases as “Earth’s Staff”, perhaps “Guardian of the Earth”.
10. Baal;
Ba = Son
aL = El
* Baal means “Son of El”,
or “Son of Anl (Son of Anlil (Enlil) of Sumerian mythology”, “An” symbolizes Deity).
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 myths 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.”
The differences in Genesis can be attributed to;
.1 The oral historical gap of 2100 years; from the time of the flood (-3400 BC*), to when Moses wrote the Torah (-1300 BC), of which much of the oral history was forgotten, then adapted to conform to local cultures.
* -3400 BC flood date was calculated from the Sumerian Tablets.
.2 Being influenced from living in Canaan,
.3 Being influenced from being in captivity in Egypt for 430 years,
.4 The scribes translated the “Meanings of the Names” rather than a letter to letter transliteration of the Original Pronunciations.
Most of the names in Genesis were translated to conform to the Egyptian and Phoenician (Canaanite) cultures and poetics.
.5 The scribes Superimposed their kings, local towns and culture into the legends and myths.
.6 These myths originated as Theatrical Entertainment, rather than historical accounts.
The writers and producers would take theatrical performances and substitute the names with the names of local kings, heroes, and locations into the legends and myths.
The plays of the era were dualistic, often comical and tragic.
1:7 Abram’s bible was the Sumerian Tablets;
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.
The Sumerian Tablets was Abram's “Original Bible.”
* Bibles are “written accounts of history, religion, and laws”.
.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, rather than the Biblical Box narrative, thus are much earlier dates. Moreover, I used the earliest dates of the writing systems which ties the fables* to their Motif and Oral Poetics.
* Fables are stories that convey a moral story with animals as characters which talk. As talking snakes and donkeys etc…
.2 History of Bibles;
* Dating was established from the Writing Systems, Poetics 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)
-1350 Moses leads Israel out of Egypt
-1300 BC Ugaritic Texts were written, “One thousand five hundred (1500) Ugaritic Texts, plus the Epic Poems” (Eight Bible) in Cuneiform. Contemporary parallel of the Torah.
-1300 The Torah used an Abecedaries Script, hence the Torah was written (or translated) after -1300 BC.
-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 myths and legends of God, creation and the flood, and would have been influenced by the seven previous bibles.
As with legends and myths, Moses’ Sky Deity exceeded all previous sky deities becoming the celestial “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 Proto and 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;
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 fables and myths.
Mesopotamian Sky Man -> Sumerian Anlulim -> Anlil (Enlil) and Anki (Enki) -> Anshur (Asher)
* Israelis were assimilating into western culture.
Same motifs of “descending from the sky”, and similar pronunciations.
.1 Origin of the Sinai Scripts;
The name of God is very old, originating in the Prehistory (pre -3400 BC) and Pre Alphabetics eras (pre -2000 BC).
God’s name is found in Proto Pictographs, Paleo Pictographs and Pictograms.
The Hebrew Script and the modern pronunciation of God’s name used today is Post Alphabetics (post -2000 BC).
Moses began to write the Torah in -1300 BC within the Indo European area. Hence, there are many linguistic similarities to Egyptian and other Indo European Alphabetic words and meanings.
* Research web images; “YHVH” and “YHVH Elohim”.
Egyptian Hieroglyphics -> Proto Egyptian Alphabetic -> Paleo Phoenician -> Paleo Hebrew.
From the days of Abram to Moses, Phoenicia (most of the Mediterranean coast, including Canaan) was under the control of the Egyptians.
The Hebrew language was a dialect of the Proto Egyptian Alphabetic groups.
Proto Egyptian Alphabetic = Paleo Hebrew
Moses wrote the Torah in the Proto Egyptian Alphabetics.
* Research; Phoenicain Alphabet; “Table of Letters.” Compare Egyptian Hieroglyphs, to Paleo Phoenecian and Paleo Hebrew.
* Compare the Sumerian and Akkadian typography to the Canaanite Tablets typography.
The Canaanites were descendants of the Elam (Elomites Sumerians), hence the similarity of the name of God as El, Elyon, etc…
The Sumerians, Phonecians, and Canaanites use the Oxen pictograph “A” alef, symbolizing the Sumerian “Bull of Heaven” as their first letter of their alphabets. Hence the similarity of the name of God as AL (El), Alyon (Elyon), etc…
The Sumerian Al (El) symbolizes “Oxen Staff”, which is paraphrased as “ruler”, of which traces back to Alulim (Elolim), first king of the Sumerian Kings List.
* Research; Phonecian Alphabet, Table of Letters.
The Hebrew Levite Priests symbol is the Oxen.
.2 The origin of the “Hebrew Script”;
Genesis 11:31, Abram was a Sumerian.
Hence, Abram’s native language was the Sumerian language.
Abram’s journey began in Sumaria, traveled to Phoenicia (Canaan), went into captivity in Egypt, then went back to Phoenicia (Canaan).
Sumer -> Phoenicia (Canaan) -> Egypt -> Phoenicia (Canaan).
There is no archaeological evidence of the Hebrew Script or language in Sumeria prior to -600 BC when Israel was carried off to Babylonia.
Therefore, the Hebrew language and script originated from the Proto Egyptian Alphabetic and Paleo Phoenecian Alphabetics.
By -2000 BC, the Egyptian scribes simplified Hieroglyphs to a “Alphabetic Phonetic Language.”
Thus, -2000 BC would have been the earliest date for Biblical Hebrew script and language.
.3 In -1300 BC, Moses wrote the Torah in the “Proto Egyptian Alphabetics”.
Proto Egyptian Alphabetics -> Paleo Phoenician -> Paleo Hebrew Script
By proto pictographic standards what is called “Paleo Hebrew (-1300 BC)” was actually a Modern Alphabetic Script.
The first letter of Sumerian PIctographs is the “ * sky (An)”, and the first letter of Paleo Hebrew is the “Alef oxen” (sky vs oxen), meaning Paleo Hebrew “Elohim” originated from the Paleo Phoenician, rather than from Sumerian Cuneiform.
* Research; “Comparative Study of the Origins of Writing Systems.”
* Study; “Evolution of writings”.
.4 By proto pictographic standards what is called “Paleo Hebrew” (-1300 BC) was actually Modern Alphabetic Script
with modern Motifs, Poetics, and the best Symbolic Form, Esthesic and Poisis of the era.
Moreover, Genesis 1-6 is the most inclusive organized collection of Indo European Myths of the -1300s BC when Moses began to write the Torah.
.5 As Eastern Asian Scripts, the “Original Sumerian Script” had over 2800 characters.
There are theories the Sumerians were from the Far East (Korea) and settled in southern Sumeria. Korean pictographs had a lot of similarity to the Sumerian pictographs.
But later was influenced by the West and became an “Alphabetic Phonetic Language,” reducing the Sumerian script to 28 characters.
Compare the Original 2800 Sumerian Characters to the Ancient Eastern Scripts of Korea etc.
The origin of the Sumerian and Akkadian scripts were Eastern (Asian), and the origin of “Paleo Hebrew Script” was Western, similar to the Egyptian and Phonecian scripts.
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.

10:1 Yahwism - Yahwists;
Yah and YHVH did not originate from Sumeria or Mesopotamia. Yah is from Egyptian - Indo European mixing bowl of Phonecian and Ugaritic linguistics and Yahwism Mythos.
100 AD Greek philosopher Plutarch's Symposiacs Vol. IV, 6, concludes from unimpeachable evidence that the Jews worship Zeus and Dionysus (Phrygian Sabazios) as The “Sky Fathers” .
Research; “Deiwos (Yehwos/ Yahwos)”, and “Shasu of Yah”.
Hebrew “YHV” = Greek “IAO” (D-yeus/ Jove)
In the Greek Septuagint, God’s name is; “Theos Kyrios”.
Indo European Linguistic Migrations of “Deiwos” (-1300 to -400 BC);
Deiwos -> Deity = Daylight, Personification of the Sky (storms, lightning and thunder).
Deiwos -> Dyeus Phter (Sky Father) -> Iu-pitar -> Ju-piter (I, Y and J are regional dialects)
Greek Dyeus -> Zeus (Sky Deity/ Storm Deity)
D-yeus (ius) -> Hel-ius -> Helios (Sun Deity)
D-yeus (ius) -> Th-eos* (Shining Deity, or Shining Sky)
D-yeus (ius)-> Kyr-ios (Master Deity or Master Sky)
* Theos = Theology (Study of Theos), in Hebrew "Study of YHVH".
Theos Kyrios is Paraphrased as “The Deity Master” or “The Sky Master” in the Septuagint -350 BC.
My thesis of the origin of “YHVH” is based on the proto and paleo “Writing Systems”.
By deduction;
There is no early evidence (prior to -1350 BC) of “YHVH” originating or existing in Sumerian or Mesopotamia script or texts.
There is no early evidence of “YHVH” originating or existing in Egyptian texts. (Shasu of Yah migrated to Egypt, hence Yah originated from Indo Europe)
And there is no early evidence of “YHVH” originating or existing in the Akkadian, Assyrian or Canaanite script or texts.
Outside of the Torah/ Tanakh “YHVH” did not exist prior to -1350 BC.
After researching every language and all the early texts.
The highest probability is; “YHVH is Indo European in origin” in meaning, in vocalization, and having a similar "Sky Father" mythos motif.
.1 Sinai Peninsula Linguistic Migration of “Deiwos”/ D-yeus;
Deiwos -> Deywos (celestial) -> YeHWoS -> YeHWoH -> YaHWeH*
(celestial creator)
Linguistic Migration of Jove;
Sky Father -> Jupiter -> Jove -> Yehoveh
Deiwos (sky deity) = YahWeY (sky deity)
Dyeus = YHVH = Sky Daylight Deity
The universal Deiwos/ Dyeus (YHVH) sky deity motif is; "Daylight is good,
night darkness is evil".
"In the morning the daylight overtakes the night darkness", and "In the evening the night darkness overtakes the day".
Research “Reconstruction Proto Indo European Deiwos” and “Proto-Anatolian: *diu̯- “daylight god”.
* In fear of using God’s name in vain, the Hebrews changed the vowels from YeHWoH to YaHWeH. Moreover, Alohyim is pronounced Elohyim (Elohim). Ex 20:7, Deu 5:11-25
Furthermore, with Indo European Germanic influence, the W is pronounced V, from YHWH to YHVH (Jove).
* Research; “Dyeus”, “Deywos”, “Deiwos Theses”, “Deiwos Deywos”, “Deiwos Yehwoh”, and “Deiwos Yahweh”, "Jove", and “YHVH”.
* Research; “Reconstruction of Proto Indo European "Deywos".
* Research Evolution of Yahweh
In the Hebrew Tanakh, God’s name is “YHVH Elohim” (Ruler of the Sky)
In the Greek Septuagint, God’s name is; “Theos Kyrios” (Sky Master)
YHVH Elohim = Theos Kyrios
In the Indo European Alphabetic sphere of influence, there was a lot of sharing of knowledge, legends and myths.
.2 The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning for Eve, Hebrew “HaVaH”.
The name of Eve in Hebrew is Havah “HaVaH”;
“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man”. (pointing to the sky)
"V” Vah, symbolizes; “Earth”
“H” Heh, as a suffix, implies “feminine.”
"HaV"ah symbolizes; Man, Earth, feminine
“HaV”ah Paraphrased as; “Mother Earth”.
The Indo European equivalent of “HaV”aH is “Hewsos” Sun Daughter (Sky Daughter).
* Research; Hewsos.
Deiwos (sky deity) -> Hewsos* -> Havah -> Eve (Heveh)
* Hewsus (feminine of Iesus)
.3 The High Priest “Yeshua”;
Ya Shu A:
D-yeus -> Yesu -> Yeshu -> Yeshua = Yashua (I, J and Y are regional dialects) meaning;
“Ya” = Sky Deity,
“Shu” = Of,
the suffix “A (ayin)” masculinity as; “Sky Deity (masculine)” or “Of Sky Light (masculine).”
.4 In -1300 BC, Moses used the most modern alphabetic depiction of God as “YahWeh” (celestial God of creation) as “the creator of the universe”.
Most Jewish prayers begins with; “Barukh ata Adonai* Eloheinu**, melekh ha’olam”.
“Blessed are you, our YHVH* our Elohim**, king of the universe.”
.5 In the days of Moses (-1300 BC), Moses wrote the Torah in the “Common Phoenicia Language” used in the Eastern Mediterranean Levant.
The difference between the Phonecian Language and the Hebrew variant was; the Hebrew variant was the merging of the Egyptian Alphabetics with the Indo European Alphabetic languages.
Therefore, there are many similarities in the words and names. Some with Egyptian roots, and some with Indo European roots.
There was nothing unique, mythical or supernatural about the Hebrew language.
The “Sons of Abraham” language variant was not called Hebrew until -150 BC.
.6 Most religions of the world have versions of personifications of the sky and sun.
Abram was from Sumar (Genesis 11:31) and the Sumerian deity of the sky was
“An”, and the Akkadians sky deity was Anshar (Ashur) and his son was “Anu” (Sky Father).
“YahWeh (YHVH)” would have been the Proto Indo European equivalent of “An” and “Anu”.
Abram would have called his deity Sumerian; “An (Sky Man)”.
500 years later Moses called God in the Indo European Alphabetic*
“YahWeh (Yah = Sky Man)” the celestial God of creation.
Alulim/ Anlulim (Sky Man Ruler of Rulers):
The Hebrews New Religion and its new God “YHVH Elohim” was a rebellion from its older Sumerian Religious roots, a rebellion against An and the Anuna.
That in -1350 BC Moses replaced “Anu and Anuna” with the modern Indo European/ Canaanite title “YHVH Elohim” to fit into the modern Indo European and Canaanite religious cultures.
The Greek personifications of the sky were Dyeus Phter (Jupitar and Zeus). Gods of the wind, storms, lightning and thunder.
The Egyptian equivalent of Sky Man is Atum.
.7 Summary;
In meaning “YHVH Elohim” = “Theos Kyrios”,
On the other hand, “Lord God” has no connection to “YHVH Elohim” or
“Theos Kyrios”, phonetically or in meaning. “Lord God” sole purpose is to cut off its Jewish roots, and transplanting it under British Rule.
