Jehovah 耶和华来自希伯来四字字母词YHWH的英国化拼写,因神的名字过于神圣不能念出来,所以用四个字母代替。该四字字母词最终可能来自希伯来语hayah,存在,神的存在。
Jehovah ’s witness 耶和华见证人一种圣经信仰,相信世界末日在即,只有其信徒才能免受惩罚。
- Jehovah
- 1530, Tyndale's erroneous transliteration of Hebrew Tetragramaton YHWH using vowel points of Adhonai "my lord" (see Yahweh). Used for YHWH (the full name being too sacred for utterance) in four places in the Old Testament in the KJV where the usual translation lord would have been inconvenient; taken as the principal and personal name of God.
The vowel substitution was originally made by the Masoretes as a direction to substitute Adhonai for "the ineffable name." European students of Hebrew took this literally, which yielded Latin JeHoVa (first attested in writings of Galatinus, confessor to Leo X, 1516). Jehovah's Witnesses "member of Watchtower Bible and Tract Society" first attested 1933; the organization founded c. 1879 by Charles Taze Russell (1852-1916); the name from Isa. xliii:10.
