A:

 The ancient Isrealites spoke hebrew not latin like Rome the scriptures are based on the hebrew God.Moses would have spoke to hebrews not Romans.

Yahovah.Hebrew has no J sound in it so the correct translation should be the Y.

The form of J was unknown in any alphabet until the 14th century.  Either symbol (J, I) used initially generally had the consonantal sound of Y as in year.  Gradually, the two symbols (J, I) were differentiated, the J usually acquiring consonantal force and thus becoming regarded as a consonant, and the I becoming a vowel.  It was not until 1630 that the differentiation became general in England.” The Messiah’s  name could not begin with the letter J because it did not exist when He was born –not even a thousand years later!  All good dictionaries and encyclopedias show that the letter J and its sound are of late origin.
