No Authorization To Substitute “LORD” For “YHWH” In Translation
Most Bible translations substitute “LORD” for “Yahweh” in Bible translations, as we see in the picture below. Is there any authorization to substitute “LORD” for “Yahweh”?
Notice the following accurate translation.
Isaiah 42:8 – “‘I am Yahweh, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another” (LSB). The name of Yahweh is very important to Almighty God, and in the scriptures.
THE PROBLEM
“It is almost if not quite certain that the Name was pronounced ‘Yahweh'”. (NRSV preface). That is true.
