I read the Genesis and all you guys did was change God to Yahweh in the KJV. In the Masoretic Text the word used is Elohim (God), which is the "majestic plural" of eloa, or "god". The name Yahweh does not occur until the Gen 3. That is not a "new" translation. Without getting into the whole Documentary Hypothesis debate, it is pretty clear that the first two chapters of Genesis God is exclusive referred to as Elohim.

You missed Job's point completely. There is no letter in the Hebrew alphabet that corresponds with the English letter "J", as in judge. How the masoretes copied scrolls is irrelevant. "Jehovah" was first writen by Galantinus in 1520, who dispite his name, was German. In German, the letter "J" corresponds to the English letter "Y" (and of course the Hebrew lettter "yod"). So it should be pronounced Yehovah. A convention addopted by the Massoretes was to intentionally "mis-point" YHWH so that the true name of God would not be pronounced by accident. They used the points from the word Adonai (shewa and qamets) and placed them in YHWH. Galantinus did not understand this convention and ended up with Yehovah.

It is true that we can never know for sure how those four letters were pronounced but there is a pretty good guess that it was Yahweh. There is an ancient verb root HWH which means "to be" or "to exist" or "to cause". If it were to be conjugated to the third person masculine imperfect it would be Yahweh, or "He Is", "He will be", "He exists" or "He causes". This is quite in line with Exodus 3:14 where Gods says his name is "I am that I am" "Eheyeh asher Eheyeh"

You are certainly correct that Yahweh does mean "Lord", "God", and certainly not "Jehovah". However Chapter 1 of Genesis does not use the word Yahweh, it uses the word Elohim. Changing the word Elohim to Yahweh is not "translating". You are of course free to believe what you want but the Hebrew Texts do not say "Yahweh".

Now I have been called some wild things but I will confess I have never been called a "God worshiper" or a "worshiper of Elohim" before. Somehow you make it sound rather nasty.

What do you mean?

Jehovah is incorrect. There is no "J" in Hebrew, either modern or ancient. I already explained that the vowels points were intentionaly changed by the Masoretes to prevent the accidental speaking aloud of the sacred name. That pretty much leaves the "h"s as being correct.

If you want to say that we really are not certain what vowels go between YHWH, it would be hard to argue. However, Jehovah is definitely not the answer.
