<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Does 'Hovah' mean 'a
ruin, disaster' in Strong's Concordance?</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many opposer’s have
tried to use this clever tactic to make users of the name Jehovah
question the use of that transliteration of the Divine name.
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was asked, Why do you
use the name 'Jehovah' when 'hovah' in the Strong's Concordance means
'a ruin, disaster'. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If 'hovah' does mean 'a
ruin, disaster' in Strong's concordance then 'Jehovah' or 'Yehovah' can not mean 'he
causes to become' or 'he is, he was, he will be' but rather something more negative like he causes or is a
disaster.....or can it?!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Before my own limited evidence I will quote from a Hebrew Scholar Nehemia Gordon (who holds a Masters Degree in Biblical Studies from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a bachelors Degree in Archaeology)</span><span style="font-size: large;"> whose book I have just read, Shattering the conspiracy of silence.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">"...the rather silly claim that Yehovah יהוה comes from the Hebrew word HOVAH הוה meaning “disaster.” As I have explained in the past, this would be like saying that the word “assume” comes from the English words “ass,” “you,” and “me.” I call this “Hovah-logic,” which is defined as “knowing just enough Hebrew to be a disaster to yourself and others.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">In reality, Yehovah comes from the root HYH היה, meaning “to be,” whereas the word HOVAH (disaster) comes from the root HVH הוה. The two words only sound similar to someone blissfully ignorant of Hebrew grammar. For those who actually know Hebrew, Hoveh is a perfectly normal word meaning “he is” and Hovah is the feminine form meaning “she is” (both from HYH). Yehovah comes from Hoveh/ Hovah (“he/ she that is”). Neither has anything to do with the word “HOVAH” meaning “disaster” (from HVH).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">My Laotian friend provides another example from Hebrew of how disastrous Hovah-logic can be. The Hebrew word for elephant, “PIL” פיל, sounds similar to “PILegesh” פילגש, meaning “concubine.” Using Hovah-logic, you could come up with some bizarre explanations. You might break down the word PILegesh into two words: PIL “elephant” and the verb GESH meaning “approach!” You could then say that ancient concubines were immensely fat and their paramours would shout at them, “Pil, Gesh!” “Approach, elephant!” As silly as this sounds, it’s actually more plausible than the name Yehovah having anything to do with the word for “disaster!”. "</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Also.....</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">This question almost invariably comes from
people who either don't know Hebrew or know just enough to be dangerous to themselves. I'm not putting these people down. I applaud them for trying to
understand Hebrew the best they can with the limited tools available to them. This is just me venting my frustration at having to explain basic Hebrew
grammatical concepts.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">The question starts off with the observation that the Hebrew word hovah means "disaster, calamity". This word appears three times in the Tanach, once in
Isaiah and twice in a single verse in Ezekiel:</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">"Evil is coming upon you which you will not know how to charm away; disaster (hovah) is falling upon you which you will not be able to appease;
coming upon you suddenly is ruin of which you know nothing." </span><span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">(Ezekiel 7:26)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">(Isaiah 47:11) "Calamity (hovah) shall follow calamity (hovah), and rumor follow rumor. Then they shall seek vision from the prophet in vain; instruction shall
perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders." </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Since hovah means "disaster" or "calamity", the question goes, doesn't this mean that Yehovah also means "disaster" or "calamity". </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">I guess this makes sense to
those innocent of basic Hebrew grammar but in the Hebrew language this makes no sense. This would be like saying that the English word "assume" is derived
from the word "ass" because when you assume you make an ass of you and me. Someone actually told me this many years ago and they were dead serious.
Of course, an examination of any historical English dictionary will reveal that "assume" actually comes from the Latin verb "assume(re)" and not from the
English word for a donkey.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Let's look at some Hebrew basics before we get ourselves in trouble assuming. With a few exceptions, every word in the Hebrew language has a three letter
root, something proven in the 11th century by the Spanish rabbi Yonah Ibn Janah. Modern linguistics has confirmed this, observing that the three letter root is a
basic characteristic of all Semitic languages. Most Hebrew roots are "whole" roots meaning all three letters of the root are present regardless of how the root is
used in different grammatical forms. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">For example, the Hebrew root SH.M.R. has the basic meaning "to guard". Hebrew can use this root in dozens of ways,
each with a different shade of meaning, such as the verbs SHaMaRti "I guarded" and hiShaMeR "be careful" (be on guard), the noun miSHMeRet meaning
"duty" (which a person has to be on guard to keep), and the names SheMeR and SHoMRon. As a "whole" root, the letters shin mem resh are always present in
words derived from this root.
The opposite of a "whole" root is a "hollow" root.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">In "hollow" roots, one or more of the three letters of the root can be absent in certain grammatical forms. For
example, the root BNH בנה" to build" loses the third letter of the root in the verb baniti (spelled BNYty בניתי" (I built". In this form of the verb, the H of BNH drops
and is replaced by a Yod. If you didn't know about hollow verbs and saw the word baniti you might think the root was BNY בני when in fact it is BNH בנה.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">You're probably thinking, "When is he gonna talk about the name?!"</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Ok, here goes. The name Yehovah derives from the threeletter root HYH which means "to
be". We know this from Exodus 3:14 in which the Almighty explains his name as "Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh". The word Ehyeh is an "imperfect" verb from the root
HYH meaning "to be". In later Hebrew, the "imperfect" form took on the meaning of "future" but in Biblical Hebrew it primarily expresses a repetitive action. In
plain English, Ehyeh means "I am now and I will continue to be in the future". This is why Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh can be translated as "I am that which I am" but
also as "I will be that which I will be". Both of these translations are correct even if they are a bit inaccurate. An accurate translation would be: "I am now and will
continue to be in the future that which I am now and will be continue to be in the future". That's quite a mouthful and you can see why most translations prefer
to dumb it down. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">The word eHYeH has all three letters of the root HYH which may lead you to conclude that HYH is a "whole" root. However, in other forms of the verb, the
second and third letter drop which means it is a "hollow" root. For example, HaYiti (spelled HYYty הייתי" (I was" is missing the third letter of the root H and in its
place has a Yod. On the other hand, the masculine singular imperative Heveh (pronounced Heh Vay) "be!" is missing the second letter of the root and in its
place has a Vav. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">This last piece of information is crucial becomes it means in certain forms the root looks like HVH even though in fact it is HYH. This can be
confusing because there is an unrelated root which really is HVH and which has an entirely different meaning from HYH. Don't worry, I'm almost done with the
crash course in Hebrew grammar.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Now back to the name. Yehovah comes from the same root as Ehyeh: the hollow root HYH. Yehovah is actually a combination of three verbforms: Hayah "he
was", Hoveh "he is", and Yih'yeh "he is now and will continue to be in the future". Together Hayah, Hoveh, and Yih'yeh combine into the name Yehovah. But
does the meaning of the name tell us its pronunciation? Not necessarily. Many ancient Hebrew names stray from the vowel patterns found in common nouns
and verbs. For example, my name Nehemia (pronounced N'chemYah) means "Yah comforts". However, if I said "Yah comforts" in a regular Biblical Hebrew
sentence it would be Neechaym Yah. Why is my name pronounced N'chemYah and not NeeChaymYah? As we say in Hebrew: Kachah! Just because!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Hebrew names don't follow the same rules as common nouns and verbs. Deal with it! The bottom line is the meaning of YHVH as "he that was, he that is, and
he that will be" doesn't tell us how to pronounce the name. The pronunciation Yehovah is based on Hebrew Masoretic manuscripts, but for that you'll have to
read Keith's little study.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Let's get back to the hollow verbs. We saw that "Yehovah" comes from the hollow root HYH and as a result the Y can be replaced with a V in certain forms. To
the untrained eye this makes it look like the root is HVH when in fact it is HYH. Remember the word Hovah meaning "disaster"? That word actually does come
from the root HVH, which means "destruction". There is no connection between the name Yehovah and the word hovah because they are from two unrelated
Hebrew roots: HYH "to be" and HVH "destruction". Pronouncing the name as Yehovah doesn't change this situation. Even though Yehovah sounds like it
contains the word hovah "disaster" within it, this is a pure coincidence, just like the word "assume" which sounds like it contains the word "ass" in it. It doesn't
mean that Yehovah means "disaster" nor does it mean Yehovah is connected in any way to the word for "disaster". If you assume that to be the case, then
you're just making an ass of yourself. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Basically
the lexical number for the Tetragrammaton <span style="font-family: "tahoma";"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "sbl hebrew" , "cardo" , "ezra sil" , "titus cyberbit basic" , "times new roman" , "arial unicode ms";">יְהֹוָה</span></span>
</span>in the Strong's
concordance is H3068, and that reference lists the root word (how we
make up the preceding word) as H1961 'hayah, to become', which comes
from the Primitive root H1933 'hava', Shall be', and that is the
finishing point for the four letters <span style="font-family: "tahoma";"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "sbl hebrew" , "cardo" , "ezra sil" , "titus cyberbit basic" , "times new roman" , "arial unicode ms";">יְהֹוָה</span></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So
if the Tetragrammaton is transliterated as Yehovah which comes from
the root 'to become', why does the hovah bit of Yehovah mean
'misfortune, calamity'?</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This
is because, hovah is a transliteration in itself that is NEVER
applied to <span style="font-family: "tahoma";"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "sbl hebrew" , "cardo" , "ezra sil" , "titus cyberbit basic" , "times new roman" , "arial unicode ms";">יְהֹוָה</span></span>
</span>in the Hebrew
text. Each Hebrew word comes from a root verb or noun, hovah is a
feminine noun that actually comes from the root havvah which means
'wickedness, mischief'.
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To
show this in scripture, Strong's lists two texts where hovah is used,
but there is no sign of the Divine name.</span></div>
