Originally J had the same sound as Y, and was used to mark capital I at the beginning - I and Y having similiar pronunciation. So we have "Jehovah" which should be more like "Yehovah" but there is even more debate as to how it was actually pronounced.<br /><br />What is more important than pronunciation of words, is to recognize that the historical events, places and people in scripture are symbolic of spiritual things. Thus the Jews are not "holy," nor are they a specially chosen people, but rather they represent the true spiritual church - which is all who acknowledge God and follow his commandments. Unfortunately there are Jews of a pure racist bent, thus we have the apartheid situation in the modern state of Israel.<br /><br />Doug Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071107950046910342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030257666913290314.post-56935188079515836112014-11-30T19:30:01.619-05:002014-11-30T19:30:01.619-05:00And the bleeding obvious; seemingly ignored by all...And the bleeding obvious; seemingly ignored by all.....<br />There are now "Jew[s]" in the bible.... <br />There are Hebrews, Israelites, Judeans, Judites etc; but no "Jews".<br />Those words all exist in English; so why the gross misrepresentation in all English versions.Kostahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03671075111499067052noreply@blogger.com
