[edit] The Tetragrammaton

Article reads:

The World English Bible follows the American Standard Version's unusual decision to translate the Tetragrammaton, but updates "Jehovah" to be "Yahweh".

That's not unusual, that's standard practice, isn't it? (Whether it's a good decision is a different question.) --Singkong2005 12:04, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Someone corrected "translate" to "transliterate." It is unusual, because most translations translate YHWH to "Lord" or "God," rather than transliterating to Jehovah or Yahweh. NTK 23:24, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Interesting that they use Yahweh instead of Jehovah, but do they change other Biblical names to more accurately reflect their original pronunciation (e.g., Yeshua instead of Jesus)? 66.234.222.96 (talk) 17:38, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] When will this be finished?

Anyone have any idea when this will be finished? Or if any progress is being made? From this [1] it looks like no work has been done on it in about a year.Josh Millman 19:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
