Biblical Hebrew Forum

The message below was for Rolf, who I am not, but after 40 years of reading 
the Hebrew Bible I cannot help but notice the tetragrammaton thousands of 
times in the text, and wonder just how it should be pronounced.  Also, why, 
if it is irrelevant and unworthy of consideration, it is there in the Hebrew 
Bible in the first place.

I respect the opinion of those who think too much time is spent on this.  I, 
however, think that the subject does not get enough real research.  It is, 
after all, God's own Name, if the Bible is to be believed.  Somehow, I am 
pursuaded thereby that this must be important.
