The ring was then left on the ring finger. In a few European countries, the ring is worn on the left hand prior to marriage, then transferred to the right during the ceremony. A Greek Orthodox bride wears the ring on the left hand prior to the ceremony, then moves it to the right hand after the wedding. In Norway, Russia, Poland, Germany, Austria and in Spain (except in Catalonia) the wedding ring is worn on the ring finger on the right hand.
The tetragrammaton (from Greek ÏÎµÏÏÎ±Î³ÏÎ¬Î¼Î¼Î±ÏÎ¿Î½, meaning (consisting) of four letters) is the Hebrew theonym ××××, commonly transliterated into Latin letters as YHWH. It is one of the names of the national God of the Israelites used in the Hebrew Bible.he most widely accepted pronunciation of the tetragrammaton (YHWH) is Yahweh. Genebrardus suggested the pronunciation Jahve based on Theodoret 's assertion that the Samaritans used the pronunciation Iabe. For most Jews, however, it was forbidden to pronounce or even write in full, the tetragrammaton.
Jehovah is not YHWH. No one knows how this name of God is actually pronounced and so this lead to the vowels from âAdonaiâ (Lord) and âElohimâ (God) being inserted into YHWH to become Yahweh however this does not mean that this is how Godâs name was originally pronounced or how God pronounced it.ven the Hebrew letter vav, which is transliterated as the W in YHWH is said to have originally had a pronunciation closer to W than the V of Jehovah. Jehovah is essentially a Germanic pronunciation of the Latinized transliteration of the Hebrew YHWH.
