"It's very noteworthy that Nehemiah Gordon has worked as an assistant to Emanuel Tov at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. [http://jewishhistory.huji.ac.il/] A Jewish news article from the Jewish Agency for Israel called, RIPENING OF THE BARLEY PESACH, KARAITE STYLE, quoted Michaels friend, Nehemiah Gordon as saying:
"The Karaites believe that every Jew has the obligation to study the Torah and decide for him/herself the correct interpretation of Hashem's commandments according to his conscience and understanding," says *Gordon*, an MA student in Biblical studies at the Hebrew University. Gordon, who defines himself as "a ba'al teshuva to Karaism," and his wife, Devorah, grew up in modern
Orthodox homes in Chicago..."

Emanuel Tov is a linguistics expert. Tov has written many books on the Dead Sea Scrolls and the original scrolls of the Old Testament. Both Gordon and Tov reject Jesus Christ.
Emanuel Tov's credentials are numerous and lengthy, but one of the most interesting aspects of Mr. Tov's work is his study on the Masoretic Text and the translation of YHVH.

According to postings on various forums, it has been stated that both Emanuel and Nehemiah Gordon believe that the Name of God is closer to Yehowah, which is similar to Jehovah in English, and not even close to Yahweh.
In a Messianic forum, the "Yahweh" issue was discussed by a Jewish believer, by the name of Schmuel:
"...Again be careful of simply quoting Bullinger, folks like Lawrence Schiffman and Nehemiah Gordan do not feel that he gives an accurate representation (Bullinger's Companion Bible appendix notes are on the Net.) In fact, they are even quite dubious about aspects of Christian David Ginsburg's work, on which Bullinger based his conclusions.
The Masoretic Text manuscripts tend to vary later on, per Nehemiah Gorden (who also defends Yehovah after extensive study of the Masoretic Text manuscripts). Nehemiah's view, developed quite
separately from Gertoux,... based on studying the actual manuscripts under Emanuel Tov, is that Yahweh cannot be defended, and the earlier Masoretic manuscripts all have a Yehowah (or Yehovah)
pronounciation, while later on there is a lot of variation. His host Michael Rood did not seem to be all too enthusiastic to spread this scholarship, Michael has a lot of material already out promoting the pronounciation "Yahweh"..."
The mention of E.W. Bullinger as a source for Yahweh is interesting as it is one of the foundational books used by Robert Wadsworth and Michael Rood for their zodiac beliefs, and in fact was a
foundational book used by Victor Wierwille for developing his theology for The Way International. That is, one source that he plagiarized from.
So in respect for his Karaite friend, Nehemiah Gordon, and noted Jewish scholarship of Emanuel Tov, will Michael Rood now have to issue corrected tapes and writings on correcting the pagan errors and pagan names in the Christian church?"
