YHWH/YHVH (Yahúwah - the Eternal [#3068]) in the paleo Hebrew letters (hwhy - he, waw/vav,
he, yod) indicates that yod for giving/sowing, he for Light/word/seed, waw/vav for producing/fulfilling,
the last he for the Light/word/seed received back/reaped, in other words, it means what is sowed shall be
reaped in its eternal cycle (spiritual reproduction). The meaning of His eternal name in Ex. 3:14
( †¶‹¸†¶‚ š¶
¼‚ †¶‹¸†¶‚ - hyha rca hyha – Eh’Yah asher eh’Yah) means “I will be
(am) what I will be (am)” in other words that it is a eternal cycle where there is no beginning and no end
like what is sown is the same as what is reaped.

Yahushua / Yahusha ( ”µ
E†´‹, ocwhy) is seen comparing with the name Y'shaYahu /Isaiah
( E†´‹¸”µ
¸‹, whyocy) for Yahúwah is salvation, with the similar transliteration of salvation in
the name Elisha in 1 Kings 19:16 ( ”´
‹¹½‚, ocyla) . It is understood that He comes in His
Father's name (John5:43).
Noteworthy, Phuvah/(Phuah in Gen 46:13 ( †´E–, hwp ) and Ishvah/Ishuah (†´E¸
¹‹, hwcw ) in
Gen. 46:17 are similar for the last two letters ((†´E) of His Name, and Chauwah (Eve) in Gen 4:20 (†´Eµ‰,
hwj) is understood as a mother of all where we come in our flesh and ascend to His holy Name
(hwhy) at the completion of our flesh. Yah (D´‹) is mostly found in Psalms, Isa. 12:2; 38:11; Ex.

15:2; 17:16. There are many Hebrew names ending with yah ( †´‹) like Zecharyah, Zephanyah.
HalleluYah! ( D´‹E¸µ†) in Ps. 104:35.

* Where does the word kyriou (kyrios) come from?

It is found in the LXX and Greek NT to use instead of YHWH.


English translation: Isa. 45:1 Thus says YHWH to Cyrus His anointed, Whom I have taken by the
right hand, to subdue nations before him and to loose the loins of kings; To open doors before him so
that gates will not be shut:
Hebrew transliteration: 45:1. koh-’amar Yahúwah lim’shicho l’Koresh ‘asher-hechezaq’ti
bimino l’rad-l’phanayu goyim umath’ney m’lakim ‘aphatecha liph’toach l’phanayu
d’lathayim ush’`arim lo’ yisageru.
LXX transliteration: 45:1 Hout
s legei kyrios ho theos tŸ christŸ mou KyrŸ, hou ekratsa ts dexias
epakousai emprosthen autou ethn, kai ischyn basile
n diarrx
, anoix
emprosthen autou thyras, kai
poleis ou sygkleisthsontai.

2Chr36:22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persian order to fulfill the word of DEDI by the
mouth of Jeremiah DEDI stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he sent a
proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying,
22. ubish’nath ‘achath l’Koresh melek Paras lik’loth d’bar-Yahúwah b’phi Yir’m’Yahu he`ir
Yahúwah ‘eth-ruach Koresh melek-Paras waya`aber-qol b’kal-mal’kutho w’gam-b’mik’tab
le’mor.
22 Etous pr

exgeiren kyrios to pneuma Kyrou basile
s Pers
n, kai parggeilen kryxai en pasÿ tÿ basileia& autou en

n

We see the commonly words : kyriou, kyrios, kyrion, kyrio, kyrie in the Greek NT referring to YHWH,
Elohim, Master (Adon). King Cyrus (Kryo, Kryus) was His anointed to bring His people out of Babylon
back to the land of Yisrael.

There are some Greek names bearing His Name :


Jeremiah (YirmeYahu) – Iremiou
Matthew (MattithYahu) - Mattathiou
Isaiah (YeshaYahu) - Esaiou
Jews (Yahudim) – Ioudaion
Judah (Yahudah) – Iou’dan

Cryus (Koresh) – kyrou


Kyriou is understood that the king of Perisan Cyrus used his Kyr (Cyrus) with His IOU (YHW) making
it looks like KoreshYahu (Kyriou in Greek transliteration).

Translation: Ps. 118:26a (MT)


Here LXX matches Hebrew very closely:

MT: BARUK HABBA' B’SHEM YHWH


LXX: EulogEmenos ho erkhomenos en onomati Kyriou
Blessed the coming (one) in (the) name (of) YHWH
