Workmen Receive Offerings

36 Then wrought (worked)  Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) had commanded.

² And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:

³ And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal (to prepare it for service). And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.

⁴ And all the wise men, that wrought (worked) all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;

An Abundance of Offerings

⁵ And they spake unto (spoke to) Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded to make.

⁶ And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

⁷ For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

The Curtains of Fine Linen

⁸ And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work (skillful work) made he them.

¹⁰ And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.

Modern Hebrew	יהושע (Yahusha = Yahuah is Salvation)	המשיח (ha‘Mashiach = The Anointed One)
Romanized (NOTE: Hebrew text is read from right to left)	Yahusha	ha‘Mashiach

Yahusha (Jesus) was anointed by God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) as the Savior / Messiah to save the sinners for those who believe in Him.

THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH WAS TRANSLITERATED ALONG THE YEARS

TRANSLATION VS TRANSLITERATION

In contrast, transliteration focuses on converting text from one script to another, maintaining the original sounds WITHOUT CONVEYING the meaning.

THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH WAS TRANSLITERATED ALONG THE YEARS

1) יהושע (Hebrew 3091) romanized = Yahusha = God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) saves
  ⬇ transliterated
into Greek as Iēsous (Ἰησοῦς)
  ⬇ transliterated
into Latin as Iesus 
  ⬇ transliterated
into English as Jesus

2) משיח (Hebrew 4899) romanized : Mashiach = Anointed One / Messiah / Savior / Chosen One to save the sinners
  ⬇ transliterated
into Greek as Christos (Χριστός)
  ⬇ transliterated
into Latin as Christus
  ⬇ transliterated

DIFFERENT SPELLING VERSIONS OF THE MESSIAH:-

Here are the explanations:-

1. SPELLING VERSION #1:-

Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (Hebrew 3442) means He will save. It is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (Hebrew 3091) = God saves. EXAMPLE #1: Mike is a shortened form of Michael. EXAMPLE #2: Josh is a shortened form of Joshua.

QUESTION: Were our names shortened in any legal documents? ANSWER: No.

2. SPELLING VERSION #2:-

Yehoshooah / Yehushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (Hebrew 3091) as spelled in this manner with the niqqud as a pronunciation guide.

QUESTION: If the Messiah came in the name of His Father (Yah) as in John 5:43, will it make sense that the Messiah’s name be “Yehoshooah” / “Yehushua” / “Yehusha”? ANSWER: No.

3. SPELLING VERSION #3:-

Yahushua יהושוע (Hebrew 3091) as spelled in this manner (without the niqqud) depicts the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה (Hebrew 3050) means The Creator. Yahushua means Yah [I] cry out.

Yah יה (Hebrew 3050) is made of י (y = Yad) & הּ (ah = Hay) which means YAH (יה = The Creator),

u ו (u = Uau) = add

shua שוע (Hebrew 7769) = to cry out > ש (sh = Shan / Shin) + u ו (u = Uau) + ע (a = Ayin)

4. SPELLING VERSION #4:-

Yahusha (יהושע) as spelled in this manner (before the niqqud was created) depicts the Messiah came in the name of His Father and according to the original Pictographic Hebrew. Yahusha means Yahuah saves.

Yah יה (Hebrew 3050) is made of י (y = Yad) & הּ (ah = Hay) which means YAH (יה = The Creator),

u ו (u = Uau) = add

sha שע (sh = Shan / Shin) + ע (a = Ayin) (NOTE: The ‘sha‘ here comes from the root word Yasha)

ROOT WORD: Yasha ישע (Hebrew 3467) = to save / deliver / rescue > י (y = Yad) & הּ (ah = Hay) + ש (sh = Shan / Shin) + ע (a = Ayin).

¹⁷ For God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) sent not his (did not send His) Son into the world to condemn (disapprove) the world; but that the world through him (Him) might be saved.
