But does it really matter today how His Name was originally pronounced? Doesn’t God look into our hearts to see if we genuinely call upon Him and His Name? Even if we knew how the syllables of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) were originally pronounced, would we know with certainty where the stress was placed, either on the first syllable or the second? (The stress is almost certainly placed on the first syllable because “Yah” is the short form of “Yahweh,” hence YAHweh is more likely than YahWEH.)
