Y'shua spelling, a Jewish tradition

[CherubRam]

Y’shua spelling
ישׁוע / The yod alone can stand for the name Yah in a word.

Y’ shua is the short form of Yahshua. The spelling ישׁוע is a long standing Jewish tradition of not writing or pronouncing God’s name.


A theory by Christian Ginsburg that this is due to Hebrew scribes omitting the "h", changing Jeho (יְהוֹ‎) into Jo (יוֹ‎), to make the start of "Yeho-" names not sound like an attempt to pronounce the Divine Name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theophoric_name

Y’ shua is the short form of Yahshua.

So in the OT the Book of Joshua should be the Book of Yahshua? Cool.

So in the OT the Book of Joshua should be the Book of Yahshua? Cool.

Here is a biblical mystery hidden in plain sight. Why did Moses name Hoshea, Joshua? Joshua=Yahshua
Numbers 13:16
These are the names of the men Moses sent to explore the land. (Moses gave Hoshea son of Nun the name Joshua.)

 

[CherubRam]

Yahshua the Messiah will "come in his Father's Name", with the help of the True Elect of God, therefore he must have at the very least the short form (Yah) in his spoken name.
Yahwah / Yahshua
The first name of God is Yah. There are forty eight occurrences of the short form in the bible.

If true, it is at best only partially true, as Yehoshua ("Joshua" ) remains in the Old Testament and as a common Jewish name to this day.
