Shoshanna,
Did the Oral Torah not preserve the pronunciation of
YHWH.
Didnt they write it down when they wrote down
the Oral Torah.
have been compensated by other languages such as
Greek.
Rabbis write it down, they must have feared loss of
the pronunciation of the name too.
I recall learning from a documentary that there are
Levites in Tunisia from before the fall of the temple,
would they not know? Surely there must have been at
least a few people other than the High Priest that
would have known the pronunciation at any given time.
Best wishes,
Sujata
