Feminine and Masculine Concepts in the Name

YHWH. What does it mean on another level? How is it sounded out? If placing vowels, do they have significance? If YHWH created man and woman, then He must contain both male and female aspects, having knowledge of both genders. He is ALL. So then, within His name, might we find the essence of both?

In Hebrew words ending in "ah" are feminine. Examples:

Sarah

Ruach (Holy Spirit. This so mistakenly referred to as "he" in the NT)

When Moses asked by what name should he tell the Israelites, it was this:

I AM that I AM

EHYEH asher EHYEH

The above contains the male essence of His name. So...where's the "ah"?

Looking at the other side of YHWH, we must consider the feminine aspect of His totality.

If Adam was the son of God, and we know He brought Eve out of Adam, then we must consider Eve's name in light of being a part of Adam before the separation, being that Adam was made in the image of YHWH, Adam would have had the essence of both male and female.

Looking further into Eve. We will look not only at the first definition offered up, but also the word trail from which it is derived. Please note in all these the suffix of each as being "ah".

H2332

חוּה

chavvâh

khav-vaw'

Causative from H2331; lifegiver; Chavvah (or Eve), the first woman: - Eve.

H2331

חוה

châvâh

khaw-vah'

A primitive root; (compare H2324, H2421); properly to live; by implication (intensively) to declare or show: - show.

H2421

חיה

châyâh

khaw-yaw'

A prim root (compare H2331, H2424); to live, whether literally or figuratively; causatively to revive: - keep (leave, make) alive, X certainly, give (promise) life, (let, suffer to) live, nourish up, preserve (alive), quicken, recover, repair, restore (to life), revive, (X God) save (alive, life, lives), X surely, be whole.

H2424

חיּוּת

chayûth

khah-yooth'

From H2421; life: - X living.

Considering all the definitions above, replacing the "v" with a "w" or "u" as it is more correct and in keeping with the original paleo-Hebrew language, not the Babylonian inspired changes made later to Hebrew. In actuality, we find of we look at the above definitions that there are already some hints in place that this is more true.

Eve was called "mother of the living", so let's also consider the Hebrew word for "life":

H2416

חי

chay

khah'ee

From H2421; alive; hence raw (flesh); fresh (plant, water, year), strong; also (as noun, especially in the feminine singular and masculine plural) life (or living thing), whether literally or figuratively: - + age, alive, appetite, (wild) beast, company, congregation, life (-time), live (-ly), living (creature, thing), maintenance, + merry, multitude, + (be) old, quick, raw, running, springing, troop.

Please note that this word "Chai" points us right back to the root of Eve.

Now, let's look at the Greek:

G2096

Εὖα

Eua

yoo'-ah

Of Hebrew origin [H2332]; Eua (or Eva, that is, Chavvah), the first woman: - Eve.

This most revealing as for one thing, we find the word to contain the feminine aspect depicted through the "ah" sound. The above would sound out phonetically as the latter half of the NAME:

"yoo-wah"

Let's break down the Name into half:

YH (male or more correctly EHYEH)

WH (oo-wah, yoo-wah if we consider the actual Greek pronunciation and consideration of the letter "U" found in the Greek name of Eve) (So then a "double uu" would look like this and subsequently, "WH" would sound like this:

"uu-wah"

So then, did YHWH give Moses the Name EHYEH because the female aspect of who He is had been disconnected??? Was He looking for His bride? Israel? Eve? Yoowah?

Could this clear up the mystery of the verse found in Exodus:

Exo 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

In the ancient Hebrew culture of those days, names changed to reflect changes in the people bearing them. YHWH changed the names of some of those He made covenants with.

Let's look at two people that YHWH did this for:

Sarai and Abram

Sarai to SarAH

Abram to AbrAHam

Yes. Look at that closely. In most studies or scholarly works we find emphasis on the letter "H" or "Hey". That the letter "H" was what was added rather than "AH". But taking a WALK outside the box, let's step back and take another look. Considering the breath of life originally was breathed into Adam, but it was Eve ( or Eua) who became mother of the living( lifegiver). Are we seeing the connection yet?

Could it be that Sarai and Abram received the RuAH and that part of YHWH's Name became part of them? That the physical essence of "AH" left Adam through Eve (Chai, Chawah, Eua), but the spiritual "AH" was with the Father of Lights and He imparted it on Sarai and Abram and gave them a SIGN in their names to show this?

Considering then, that if YHWH is the name of the WHOLE ESSENCE, and if EHYEH can be equated with Adam AFTER EVE was taken out of him, then the RuAH contains the feminine aspect of God through whom life is given.

Considering then that both Sarai and Abram were given LIFE through the covenant made with YHWH or EHYEH, because by His name YEH{ov}AH he was not known to them.

In order for them to be worthy of the covenant, they had to have the Holy Spirit in them, the RuAH/Ruach[ongoing debate as to whether it is the "Hey" or "Hhet"]

So having said all of this, considering that their names should be seen as this instead:

SarAH

AbrAHam

The AH signifying the breath of God Almighty, His female aspect, the RuAH and this is confirmed regarding the femaleness through the definitions given and here we reference an excerpt from Jeff Benner's AHRC:

Feminine Derivatives

In Hebrew all nouns are either masculine or feminine. In most cases the nouns and noun derivatives are masculine and are converted into feminine nouns by adding one of four suffixes; (ah), (et), (owt), or (iyt). Generally, masculine nouns are concrete while feminine nouns are abstract.

PLEASE NOTE!!!!

In the above that the first suffix given (the "Hey" sounding as "ah") is the Proto-Canaanite symbol found in the Tetragrammaton.

The search for the Name (IMHO) should be an ongoing study. This is just a part to a larger research that is ongoing. Some will find one way and stop there. But, should we? Who are we to be so sure? Who are the ones who claim they know to be so sure? There is much to say in this subject and what is offered here is only a part. something to be considered when searching, researching or studying. Consider all things as possible!!

Reading in another esoteric work I found a Hebrew Gematria on the four letter Tetragrammaton of YHWH and with repsect to this study it belongs here.

They took the Yod and the Hey numerical values and multiplied it and it comes up as: 10x5=50

When I read that I did the same thing to the last two letters, the Waw and the Hey: 6x5=30.

Then the epiphany hit! These are the two numbers given, the monetary value placed on the male and the female from 20 years up.

I had over the years wondered WHY was the price for the betrayal of Jesus 30 shekels of silver rather than 50??

It was 30 because He was betrayed in order to PURCHASE the Bride!

You can't make this stuff up! AMAZING!!!
