Oh? Well that's why I asked. I had been told differently by a Prof who
has a Doctorate in Dead Sea Scrolls. (AWESOME CLASS) He had said Jews
were so afraid of G-d's name that they took two apart and made one...
and I thought I'd ask you. Looks like I need to go back and dig through
all my notes and e-mail him and ask him to clarify the notes.<br>
<br>
So there was no taking apart of names to avoid desecrating them and creating something new?<br>
<br>
Just asking,<br>

How old is this tradition?<br>
<br>
I've heard the
word Jehovah was created through of this tradition. Peices from Yahweh
and another one of His sacred names. Took out all the vowels of these
two words and created J*****h. I understand you don't think us typing
these names online are breaking your tradition, and I don't mean to
impose on your tradition, but it's the only way I know how to ask the
question.<br>
<br>
Thanks GreenBubble,<br>
