I guess I really have trouble understanding how a name can have two differnt meanings? I keep hearing that yehshua is the same as yahshua, But "yehshua" means(he will save or he is salvation) and "yahshua" means(yhwh is salvation).So there for my question was. What does "yeh" mean? and what does "yah" mean? Were some of the apostles calling our savior yehshua? and some of the others calling him yahshua?In the ancient world a name was not merely a label but the meaning of the name was virtually equivalent to whosoever or whatsoever bore it(1Sa25:25).Giving a name was tantamount to owning or controlling it(Ge1:5,8,10;19-20;2Sa12:28)Changing the name could mean a promotion(Ge17:5;32:28)or a demotion(2Ki23:34-35;24:17);and blotting it out or cutting it off meant that it was destroyed(2Ki14:27;Isa14:22;Zep1:4;cfPs83:4).I do hope this will help you understand what I am saying. with respect mike.
