Understanding\u00a0the\u00a0 Tetragrammaton: How is it\u00a0Pronounced<\/a>”\u00a0on La Vista’s web site, but it does not answer this question. Whether Aramaic, Hebrew or Greek, the name “Jeshua,” is the accent on the first or second\u00a0syllable? In the film “The Passion of the Christ” the accent was on the first syllable like it is in the name Joshua. When I saw the film, it seemed to be correct to say it that way.<\/p>\nThank you in advance for your answer.<\/p>\n\t
