Yahshua

Yahshua

Yahshua is an attempted transliteration of the original Hebrew or Aramaic name of Jesus commonly used by individuals in the Sacred Name religious movement out of Christianity. Those who follow Sacred Name teachings (such as the Assemblies of Yahweh) believe that it is essential to salvation to use the correct pronunciation of the name of the one most Christians call "Jesus". It is believed by some that this is the correct transliteration of the Hebrew יהושע ("yod-he-waw-shin-ayin" - usually transliterated as "Y'hoshua" or sometimes "Yahoshua"), which means "Yahweh is Salvation."

"Yahshua" supporters teach that since the Messiah will "come in his Father's Name", then he must have the name of Yahweh, or at least the abbreviated form ("Yah") in his spoken name. (Sacred Name believers teach that "name" is to be interpreted literally as opposed to mean "authority.")

Occasionally one will see the term Yahshuah, inserting the "shin" into the Tetragrammaton based according to some upon ancient occult literature. "Yahshua" uses the same Hebrew consonants as "Y'hoshua" (Joshua), but assigns a somewhat different set of vowels. The vast majority of Sacred Name groups use יהושע instead of יהושה ("Yahshuah"). Another popular contraction is "Yah'shua" with the apostrophe ( ’ ) serving as a division to emphasise the "Yah" aspect of the name and the Hebrew "shua" (salvation).

Critics say that in their labor to get the pronunciation "Yahshua" out of יהושע, they are ignoring Hebrew linguistics that do not allow the "waw" to be silent, so "Yahshua" is a questioned translation. Furthermore, it is argued by some that this pronunciation is not yet attested in antiquity, unlike the pronunciation "Yehoshua". Some in favor of "Yahshua" argue that the added vowel -o is an attribution of Moses' speech impediment, based on his statement at the burning bush: "I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue."(Exodus 4:10-16 KJV)

Opponents claim this pronunciation of יהושע first came into use during the early days of the Sacred Name movement in the 1930s, perhaps developed by leaders such as Angelo B. Traina and C.O. Dodd. Christians, historians, and linguists outside the sacred name movement for the most part reject the term "Yahshua" in favor of "Yeshua" (ישוע) as the original pronunciation.
