The Name Yahuah in Proto-Sinaitic: Restoring the Oldest Spelling

​Introduction:
The name of the Eternal, Yahuah (יהוה), has been written in various ways throughout the ages. While modern Hebrew and Biblical forms are known, the original Proto-Sinaitic form is increasingly forgotten. In this blog post, we will restore the correct spelling of Yahuah in Proto-Sinaitic, with explanations of direction, symbolism, and comparison to other forms of writing.

1. Proto-Sinaitic: The Oldest Form of Writing Yahuah
Proto-Sinaitic is an early alphabetic script from the 19th-15th centuries BCE used in the Sinai Peninsula area. The script was read from right to left, unlike many later forms.

The correct composition of Yahuah in Proto-Sinaitic is:
HE → WAW → HE → YOD (right to left)
Symbols and meanings:LetterSymbol (pictographic)

Meaning is
Yod = Arm extended (left) = Power, hand, deed
He = Man with raised arms = Revelation, breath
Waw = Y-shaped hook / nail = Connection, confirmation
He = Revelation, breath

The reconstruction is visually confirmed by authentic Proto-inscriptions and modern vector design.

2. Comparison with other scripts:
Script form / Representation of Yahuah / Characteristic

Proto-Sinaitic: Pictographic (unfortunately no font available at the time of writing)
Paleo-Hebrew: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄
Biblical Hebrew: יהוה Square script, classical religious use
Modern Hebrew: יהוה Identical to Biblical, modern context

Conclusion:
Thanks to accurate reconstruction and symbolic understanding, the oldest spelling of the Name Yahuah has been restored. This contributes to the restoration of the original meaning and reverence of the Holy Name.

Let us cherish and share this knowledge.
