Examining 3 of the six variants of YHWH in Codex 
L.                                                      

 
                                                      I 
have added links to 3 verses in 


  
  
    
      The 
      Westminster Leningrad Codex [4.14] 

                                                       in 
which a variant of YHWH does not have a holem.
 
 
In Genesis 15:2 [yod-hatef segol-heh-waw-hireq-heh] follows "Adonai" in 
the Hebrew text.

In Genesis 4:6 [yod-shewa-heh-waw-qamets-heh] stands alone in the 
Hebrew text.

In Ezekiel 24:24 [yod-shewa-heh-waw-hireq-heh] follows Adonai in the hebrew 
text

All 3 of these 6 variants of YHWH have a CVCCVC pattern which appears to be a 
flawed pattern

of consonants and vowels. It seems obvious that none of these particular 3 
variants of YHWH, 

which occur in Codex L. were ever meant to represent legitimate 
pronunciations of YHWH. 

 

FWIW

Constructive Criticism invited on this issue.
