Phoenicia is a Hebrew word.

Post by Ethan »

The Greeks knew the Levant as Phoenicia, the people were known as Phoenicians , but the problem is that the word doesn't seem to exist in the Hebrew vocabulary, the Jewish Bible deals with the Levant and tells of it's many names, so where is Phoenicia.

The problem is the word itself, Φοινίκη , the first letter of this word is Φ known
as PHI. All the letters of the Greek alphabet are derives from the Phoenician Alphabet and the letter PHI came from the letter QOPH קֵ, so this letter split into Q and P ( the reason they are next to each other) and they interchange,
thus Φοινίκη in Hebrew is קַיִן [Kenite], the word is related too קֵן [Ken] and קָנַן[Kenan] ' make a nest' and this is the origin of the Phoenix and a parable in the Jewish text.

Numbers 24:21
And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest[KEN] in a rock.

The evidence for this, is Jobs 29:18 that reads 'I shall die in my nest' , however if you read the Septuagint, Nest[Ken]
is φοίνικος [Phoenix]

Jeremiah 22:23
O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest [KEN]

QOPH branching into two letters, Q and P explains an oddity between Latin & Greek, for example the number Five , which is
Pente in Greek, but oddly named Quinque in Latin, another example is Horse, Ippos(Greek) but in Latin it is Equus . [סוּסָה]

The Greek letters derive from Phoenician which also includes the last Greek letter, Omega [ω] (Great-O), this letter became our letter W , that is Double O' ( not double U) , O is the Phoenician letter AYIN [ע]

If you double up the Ayin, עע you get ω.

YHWH in Hebrew would actually be יְהֹעעה , sounding like ' Iehooeh ' (Yahweh) , this is obviously incorrect.

If you take a look at the first FIVE letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, they are identical in Greek-Latin, but Greek dropped the Sixth Phoenician Letter, that they call Digamma [Ϝ] however it is preserved in Latin as the letter 𐌅 and in English , the shape of the letter F came from VAV.

יהוה‬ ' YEFE ( yeh-feh) and thus Jehofeh is the correct pronunciation.

The evidence is the name דָּוִד [David], this is not DWD [דָּעעד ] but DFD and this correct pronunciation is preserved in the Septuagint that reads the name ' Δαυιδ ( Dafid ) , Only the Welsh correctly pronounce the name, ''Dafydd'' .

Jehofeh is the correct pronunciation of יהוה , However people have issues with the letter J, the name Jesus was written
Iesvs in Latin, however it was still pronounced 'Jesus', for When I is placed at the front of a word , it's a consonant, they just
gave it's own letter, J.

Ivlivs is 'Julius (but not Juljus or Iuljus), it's the position of the letter I that defines it's sound.
