Ezekiel 44:5
Study it in the app“And YHWH said to me, “Son of man, set your heart, and see with your eyes, and with your ears hear all that I am speaking to you concerning all the statutes of the house of YHWH and all its instructions; and set your heart on the entrance of the house, with all the exits of the sanctuary.”
With the Hebrew beneath
Ezekiel 44:5, word by word
- And YHWHיְהֹוָהyehova
YHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.
