Asherah - the Wife of GodI don't trust that site at all, I can't even find a proper 'About' page, though that can be my fault.
I'm looking for a site that's clear about who is responsible for the information on the site. Preferably a physical address. I would also like to know if they are affiliated with any organisation or group.
I think that the info sounds a bit dodgy but we're all aware that I'm not very well read on the subjects so I pass to more informed readers to judge.
I hope so. Its an interesting subject.That I like, lets hope more people expand on the subject on the wiki page.

The Sh'ma comes from Deuteronomy 6:2 …Interesting about the Sinatic definition of JHWH. What is Sinatic a Canaanite word? How does it relate to Hebrew?
The most sacred prayer of Jews today uses the Hebrew word Adonai as God's name and Eloheinu as the word for God.
Sh'ma Yis'ra'eil Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad.
Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.
Sh'ma=Hear
Yis'ra'eil=Israel
Adonai=God/God's name?
Echad=one
Where is the YHWH version written?
Absolute rubbish.YHWH.
Studying the Name in the Sinatic script is very suggestive.
YH (Yah/Jah, in translation) is the Giver (Y) of Life (H).
WH is the Nourisher (W) of Life (H).
As earthly mothers and fathers are one flesh, so are the masculine and feminine aspects of HaShem faces of one Spirit. Therefore it is written, "Hear, O Yisrael, YHWH our G_d is one YHWH."
Proto-Sinaitic is a Middle Bronze Age script attested in a very small collection of inscriptions at Serabit el-Khadim in the Sinai Peninsula. Due to the extreme scarcity of Proto-Sinaitic signs, very little is known with certainty about the nature of the script. Because the script co-existed with Egyptian hieroglyphs, it is likely that it represented true writing, but this is by no means certain. It has been argued that Proto-Sinaitic was an alphabet and the ancestor of the Phoenician alphabet, from which nearly all modern alphabets descend.
Let me help. The stunning, peer-reviewed scholarship can be found here.I'm not currently allowed to post links, Marcialou.
Google "Crown Diamond, Tabernacle of David" and explore the Ancient Hebrew links.

The Sh'ma comes from Deuteronomy 6:2 …שְׁמַע, יִשְׂרָאֵל: יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יְהוָה אֶחָד.Adonai is a word substituted for the Tetragrammaton, i.e, it is not the word found in the text.
No. Any scroll, and any translation which also contains the Hebrew (Masoretic) text, will reflect the Tetragrammaton. Substituting 'Adonai' is simply a convention, i.e., one reads the Tetragrammaton but says 'Adonai' or 'Lord'. See and, more generally,As a further example, take a look at MyJewishLearning: The Shema. Note that they show the Hebrew, a transliteration, and a translation. Now look at the Hebrew, particularly the third word from the right:OK, I looked it up. the Tetragrammaton refers to the word JHWH. Are you saying that the original Deuteronomy used the word JHWH but later versions substituted JHWH with Adonai?

As a further example, take a look at MyJewishLearning: The Shema. Note that they show the Hebrew, a transliteration, and a translation. Now look at the Hebrew, particularly the third word from the right:
- the Hebrew is yud-heh-vav-heh,
- it is 'transliterated' as "Adonai," and
- it is translated as "Lord."
Absolute rubbish.When written vertically in Hebrew the tetragrammaton shows … In Jewish history they did worship ...
