<strong>Yahuwah</strong> - Yahudah.<br />
The evidence f<strong>or</strong> <strong>Yahuwah</strong> based on Yahudah is good, though hardly conclusive, in and of itself.<br />

So to where <strong>will</strong> <strong>we</strong> look f<strong>or</strong> <strong>the</strong> ans<strong>we</strong>r??? It seems a mighty fine idea to look in Scripture and<br />
see <strong>if</strong> <strong>we</strong> can find any clues in <strong>the</strong>re. What does YHWH say about HIS OWN NAME?<br />
Shemoth(Exodus) 3:15<br />
And Elohiym said to Moses again, You shall say this to <strong>the</strong> sons of Israel, YHWH,<strong>the</strong> Elohiym<br />
of your fa<strong>the</strong>rs, <strong>the</strong> Elohiyn of Abraham, <strong>the</strong> Elohiym of Isaac, and <strong>the</strong> Elohiym of Jacob, has<br />
sent me to you. This is My name f<strong>or</strong>ever, and this is My mem<strong>or</strong>ial from generation to generation.<br />
So <strong>the</strong> NAME of YHWH is Yah’s mem<strong>or</strong>ial. Just what is this w<strong>or</strong>d “mem<strong>or</strong>ial” ?<br />

BDB Definition:<br />
1) mem<strong>or</strong>ial, remembrance. 1a) remembrance, mem<strong>or</strong>y. 1b) mem<strong>or</strong>ial Part of Speech: noun<br />
masculine<br />
Strongs Definition:<br />
From H2142; a memento, abstractly recollection (rarely <strong>if</strong> ever); by implication commem<strong>or</strong>ation:<br />
- mem<strong>or</strong>ial, mem<strong>or</strong>y, remembrance, scent.<br />
A mem<strong>or</strong>ial as <strong>we</strong> all know commem<strong>or</strong>ates a spec<strong>if</strong>ic event <strong>or</strong> a person known f<strong>or</strong> something<br />
special. We see this same w<strong>or</strong>d used in relation to <strong>the</strong> Set Apart High Sabbath Days. As <strong>we</strong> all<br />
know those days are a mem<strong>or</strong>ial of spec<strong>if</strong>ic events, as <strong>we</strong>ll as a shadow of things to<br />
come.(Col.2:17)<br />
So what event could <strong>the</strong> <strong>Name</strong> YHWH <strong>be</strong> a mem<strong>or</strong>ial of? Obviously it is something<br />
that is “from generation to generation” which many translations render “my mem<strong>or</strong>ial unto all<br />
generations”. By <strong>the</strong> time that Yah said this to Moses <strong>the</strong>re had <strong>be</strong>en a fair few generations<br />
already. So <strong>we</strong> have to go back to <strong>the</strong> <strong>be</strong>ginning to find what it might <strong>be</strong> a mem<strong>or</strong>ial of. In fact<br />
<strong>we</strong> need to go back to <strong>the</strong> <strong>be</strong>ginning of <strong>the</strong> first generation in Bereshith (Genesis) Bereshith<br />
(Genesis) 2:7 And YHWH Elohiym f<strong>or</strong>med man of <strong>the</strong> dust of <strong>the</strong> ground, and brea<strong>the</strong>d into his<br />
nostrils <strong>the</strong> breath of l<strong>if</strong>e; and man <strong>be</strong>came a living soul<br />
We firmly <strong>be</strong>lieve that this is <strong>the</strong> event that Yah’s name is a mem<strong>or</strong>ial of. Remem<strong>be</strong>ring that<br />
what <strong>we</strong> are looking f<strong>or</strong> is from <strong>the</strong> oldest f<strong>or</strong>m of Hebrew., Is <strong>the</strong>re a w<strong>or</strong>d that would<br />
connect with both <strong>the</strong> event and Yah’s <strong>Name</strong>?
