יהודה

יהודה Judah

Look very closely at these two words:

יהודה - Judah

יהוה - Yahweh

Judah is the name Yahweh with a dalet ד representing a spoken word in it. Literally it means praised, but the hg suggest that it is Yahweh who is praised. It may even be suggestive that the life of Judah is a prophecy (word) concerning Yahweh. In fact, the story of Tamar in Genesis 38 is a picture of the birth of Christ with Judah playing the role of the Father and Tamar as Mary.

This sort of word play is evident in the name of Yeshua.
