Yahweh/Jehovah (4 of 15)

Psalm 99.9, ''Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His holy hill; for the LORD your God is holy.''
In fact, this name was so sacred and holy that starting around 200 A.D. the Jews stopped pronouncing it in fear of profaning the name of God. And keep in mind that there are no vowels in the Hebrew language, only consonants. You say, ''Then how would they know h ...
