If there is no j in Hebrew language how can His name be Jehovah?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No - in its original form Hebrew did not have a J sound (as in Jay).

However, in modern Hebrew the ג (Gimmel - third letter of the Hebrew alphabet) is used with an apostrophe to change it from G "as in Give" to J as in "Jay". This is a linguistic invention to allow transliteration from other languages.
