Shoshanna,



YHWH is not a verb and not a noun, it is a personal name. The entire "morphological" argument hinges on the, in my opinion undecidable, question as to whether Y and H are radicals or personal pronouns.

Subject: [b-hebrew] ASKING AGAIN Re: YHWH


I realize that my posts re G-d's authorship of the Torah, get ignored
here, but this is a real question that I am asking: Can - at least -
the person who claimed that YHWH is used as a verb - answer me,
please! I sincerely have no recollection of that.

Shoshanna


When/where is it used as a verb?

Shoshanna



Ted,

It's not different syntax, it's different morphology and I realize
that. But I'm not sure that we know that the verbal aspect is
emphasized. Hebrew doesn't seem to have a standard copula like Greek
and when YHWH is used as a verb it often is just a helping verb.
