God's Name Explained: YHWH, Yahweh, Jehovah, Yehova | David & Nehemia Gordon

What is the true name of God? In this episode of the Covenant & Conflict Podcast, Nehemia Gordon explores the history, meaning, and pronunciation of YHWH, including Yahweh vs Jehovah, through ancient Hebrew manuscripts, the Talmud, Dead Sea Scrolls, and early Christian sources. We discuss why God’s name appears over 6,800 times in the Hebrew Bible, why it stopped being spoken, how Jewish and Christian traditions diverged, and how Jesus and the New Testament reference the divine name. This conversation breaks down common misconceptions and examines what the name actually means: He was, He is, and He will be. If you’re interested in biblical Hebrew, the name of God, YHWH pronunciation, Jesus’ Hebrew roots, or Scripture’s original context, this episode is for you.
