I think that would be just far too coincidental to believe.

Is it possible that the name of these traders' own God was pronounced by 
them Ye-ho-wah or Je-ho-vah, and that they might themselves have passed 
on to the Cherokee nation this name and the stories of Adam and Eve etc?

>> ... if  only because Ben Hayyim later became an apostate.

Very interesting. Does anyone where I can find biographical info on Jacob
ben Hayyim?

Also, here is what I copied from
http://www.innvista.com/culture/religion/bible/glossary.htm

"In 1524, Jacob ben Hayyim published a printed text of the Hebrew Old
Testament, using a multitude of high quality manuscripts, including several
lists of Masoretic notes. This became a standard for printed Jewish Bibles.
Only in the last two hundred years has it been so accepted in the Christian
world. "

Is this true? Was the ben Hayyim text the standard for printed Jewish
Bibles. And was the ben Hayyim text not widely accepted in the Christian
world until ~1800? What is the relation between KJV and ben Hayyim?

thank you,
