The Hebrew language contains many secrets, not found in English translations of the scriptures. These are often called "Hebrew Secrets", "Hidden Hebrew", "Hebrew Honey", or "Hebrew Nuggets".

The following is a screen shot from "At Home With Hebrew - The Holy Language", a IBM/PC multimedia Hebrew tutorial program, that not only teaches the one how to read and pronounce the Hebrew alphabet, but also gives insights into the deeper beauties and mysteries of the Hebrew language.  

God's Special Name

Even God's special name - spelled Yud-He-Vav-He - indicates the "I AM"/eternal nature of God. The three related Hebrew words, "haya" (was), "hove" (is/exists), and "yiheyeh" (will be) are all spelled with the same letters found in God's special name. [In the actual program, the student would use the left mouse button to provide the transliteration/pronunciation of any Hebrew word in a blue box.]

This special name is often translated as JeHoVaH or YaHWeH. The letters Y and J are often interchangeable among various lessons, likewise the V and W and the vowels were never assigned. This special name of God, also called the tetragramaton, was only uttered or voiced by the high priest on Yom Kipur, the day of atonement. In normal Hebrew reading, Jewish people substitute word "Adonai" (Lord) or the phrase "Ha Shem" - which literally means "the name". In many modern Bibles, the special name of God is written in all capitals, such as "LORD" or "LORD".
