BROUGHT OUT BY CHRISTIAN GINSBURG INTO THE DISCUSSION OF O/T TEXTUAL CRITICISM? MEANING THE SOPHERIM READINGS AND SEVERIN READINGS" The Wikipedia Article:Emphasized Bible [ In relation to Rotherham's 1902 "Emphasized Bible" ] states:: "The entire Bible with the Old Testament appeared in 1902. Rotherham based his Old Testament translation on Dr. C. D Ginsburg's comprehensive Masoretico-critical edition of the Hebrew Bible, that anticipated readings now widely accepted." Rotherham's Emphasized Bible appears to be the first English Bible in which the English Translation "Yahweh" is used, [ I believe that "Yahweh" occurs about 6823 times in "The Emphasized Bible"] I wonder how many times does the Hebrew Spelling "Y-a-h-w-e-h" occur in Ginsburg's comprehensive Masoretico-critical edition of the Hebrew Bible I can only assume that the Hebrew spelling "Y-a-h-w-e-h" occurs "ZERO" times in Ginsburg's comprehensive Masoretico-critical edition of the Hebrew Bible. However as the Wikipedia Article notes: Dr. C. D Ginsburg's comprehensive Masoretico-critical edition of the Hebrew Bible *anticipated readings now widely accepted.* Exodus P.S. While it would be kind of nice if even one extant Hebrew Manuscript existed in which the Hebrew spelling "Y-a-h-w-e-h" occured even once, many Hebrew Scholars seem to be convinced that the Greek transcriptions "Iaoue" and "IaBe" provide convincing evidence that the original pronunciation of God's name was p-r-o-b-a-b-l-y Yahweh"

BROUGHT OUT BY CHRISTIAN GINSBURG INTO THE DISCUSSION OF O/T TEXTUAL CRITICISM? MEANING THE SOPHERIM READINGS AND SEVERIN READINGS perhaps because, like for the Gk NT's variations, they don't really affect anything really significantly?

I'll look to see if he used any of the variations I am talking about. Amarillo.. The greek N/T variations affect much. gconan.. 134 times the masoreth records that the sopherim change YHVH to Adonai. "The 18 Emendations(+) of the Sopherim" these are interesting. the severin readings, about 30 variations. Etc... See Bullinger Companion Bible appendix 31-34 to get started ( you can find these online free). Ginsburg's Massoreth if you have access. There are some recorded by Bullinger only in the notes and not in his app. on the topic so you can dig for more that way. Other than that I cannot help with sources. After you read the appendixes tell me what you think.

While James Strong's Concordance indicates that Jehonathan was created by prefixing "Nathan" with "Jehovah", other sources believe that (Y)Jehonathan can be created by prefixing "Nathan" with "Yahweh. However I am not aware of any Hebrew Scholar who posts on the B-Hebrew Discussion Board that can demonstrate how this can be done. It appears that until some Hebrew Scholar can demonstrate that "Nathan" can be prefixed with "Yahweh" to create the theophoric name "Yehonathan", the case for the name "Yahweh" rests on shaky ground.
