<h1><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Septuagint Error in Lev. 24:16 & The Ineffable Name Doctrine</span></h1>
|

<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">The only sin in the Law about simply uttering a name was uttering a name of a false god. In<a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/23-13.htm"> Exodus 23:13</a>, we read: "<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;">And in all </span><em style="color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;">things</em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"> that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make <em><strong>no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth</strong></em>." (KJV). It logically follows that no such prescription belonged to simply uttering Yahweh's name.</span></span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1">By a later human tradition that became strong by 100-200 AD, it became a sin also to utter <span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1"><em>at all</em> the true name of God <span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1"><em>out loud</em>. This is known as the Ineffable Name doctrine.</span></span></span></span></p>

|
||
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1">Between 100 - 300 AD, both Jews and Christians were gradually promoting the Ineffable Name doctrine -- that it was sinful to just use the true name of God in speech -- formed from the 4 letters known as the Tetragrammaton. I believe the name is Yahweh. Others say it is Jehovah, etc.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">This Ineffable Name doctrine stemmed evidently from a mistranslation in 257 BC of Leviticus 24:16 in the Septuagint Bible.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">The Septuagint Greek translation of 257 BC reads:</span></p>
|
||
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">“And he that<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> names</span> the name of the Lord</strong>, let him die</span><br /><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">death: let all the congregation of Israel stone him with</span><br /><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">stones; whether he be a stranger or a native, let him</span><br /><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">naming the name of the Lord.” (Brenton – LXX)</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">What it says instead in Hebrew, as the NIV renders it, is:</span></p>
|
||
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">anyone who <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">blasphemes</span> the name</strong> of the LORD is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death. (<a href="http://bible.cc/leviticus/24-16.htm">Lev. 24:16</a> NIV.)</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">One can readily see that naming the name of God became wrong by a mistranslation. Only blasphemy -- essentially an insult -- of God's name was wrong under the true words of the passage.</span></p>

In the <em>Manual of Discipline</em> in the Qumran scrolls (dated to around the 200 BC era), we find this ban on the use of the name Yahweh:</span></p>

But I believe the ineffable name doctrine caused a scribe to remove YHWH -- the Tetragrammaton -- from the Gospel text. What Jesus actually said was YAHWEH. This explains why the priest then rent his garment, claiming <em><strong>Jesus had thereby blasphemed when simply saying He was the Son of Man coming to return on the "right hand of power.</strong></em>" Those words alone (now found by themselves in the Gospel) would not conceivably be blasphemy. Something was removed so we cannot see what the priest thought was the blasphemy. It certainly was because Jesus must have uttered the name of YHWH.</span></p>

When sentence was to be given they did not declare him guilty of death with the substituted name, but they sent out all the people and asked the chief among the witnesses and said to him. "Say exactly what you heard." and he says it; and the judges stand up on their feet and <strong>rend their garments</strong>, and they may not mend them again. And the second witness says, "I also heard the like," and the third says, "I also heard the like." (<em>Ibid</em>.)</span></p>

<p style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Even at a trial, because of their Septuagint mistranslation, the rabbis used a substitute name for Yahweh when interrogating witnesses. And then only just before the conclusion did they actually have the chief witness exactly pronounce the sacred name when quoting the defendant. </span></p>

<h1><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Study Notes</span></h1>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">For a detailed article on the origins of the Ineffable Name Doctrine, see David Roger's "<a href="http://www.bibletruth.cc/GodsName.htm">God's Name</a>" from <em>Bible Truth</em> (2004).</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Proof that the Ineffable name doctrine is Biblically false is Numbers 5:23. The priest was to write a curse on a scroll which had the name Yahweh appear twice. After doing so, "he shall wash them off into the water of bitterness." Under one aspect of the Ineffable Name doctrine, it is so sacred that it cannot be erased, thrown into the garbage, etc. But here we find the priest had to wash off the name of YHWH into a wash basin, and go into the sewer drain. What gives? </span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">The ineffable name doctrine is a man-made doctrine that creates phobias and fears that God never commands. The tragic result is that people who believe in God never call on His name, and rarely know His name is YAHWEH. God said that is how his people should identify themselves. Why does this not happen? The commands of men.</span></p>
