Thx Seth but why do the syllables need to be rearranged. Is it because YHVH is too holy to be said out loud?

Thx Seth but you still haven’t told me what YHVH means. Is it part of the verb “to be”?  Paul

Gil , you said the name for the Creator is HA VAY YAH but isn’t that a rearrangement of YUD HEY VAV HEY. I  have noticed this usage from various KABU instructors but I don’t remember ever having heard why the original arrangement of the TETRAGRAMMATON given in the Bible is not used. One other observation which might be totally irrelevant but one of the most common names of God  used in Hinduism and one which is used as a mantra is SHIVAYAH which is only one syllable different to HAVAYAH. Is this just an co incidence? Incidentally SHIVAYAH means the God that dwells within in Sanskrit but what does HAVAYAH or for that matter YUD HEY VAV HEY actually mean in Hebrew.
By the way I am really enjoying the course. Many thx, Paul

Hi, I am Paul from Australia and I am a Christian but I am deeply drawn to studying all 3 ABRAHAMIC  religions. I also am very interested in studying KABBALAH and understanding Hebrew seems a way to help in this quest.
