Why weren’t the rest of the Hebrew names which begin with “J” changed to “Y” in your Restoration Study Bible?
One of the goals for the Restoration Study Bible was for it to have a wide appeal. This included those in the Hebrew Roots / Messianic movement and also those in nominal or traditional worship. This was one reason why we retained the traditional use of the letter “J.” Also, since only Yahweh and Yahshua’s Names are technically holy or set apart for reverence, we again did not see the need to change the other names with a “J.” Saying that, we acknowledge that the “J” is not correct based on the biblical Hebrew.
Great answer. Thank you. I have had this discussion in my outreach. I appreciate this very much.
