More than seven years since my last post on this blog and in a surprising twist, I came across someone on Facebook’s Nerdy Biblical Language Majors (NBLM) named Joseph Weissman who has argued (under Reformed Masora on Substack) something I never thought I would run into—namely, that both יְהוָֹה Yəhōvā́(h) and יְהוִֹה Yəhōvī́(h) are the real points of the Name and that the -i sound represents a possessive pronoun, such that Yəhōvī́ means “My Yehovah.” He writes about this on his Substack here. So, let’s look at his argument and make some comments.
