Marya Yeshua - YHWH YHWH Saves???

[The Texas RAT]

I personally believe "Yahweh" is the most likely the pronunciation of "YHWH". "Yehowah" originates from the Masoretic scribes putting the segol and patach vowel pointings under the Tetragrammaton in order for it to read as either "Adonai" or "Elohim", so as to preserve the secrecy of HaShem (The Name) of God and ensure that it isn't taken in vain.

Can anyone provide us with a direct translation of the Masoretes saying this is what they did? Did they really say such? As for the pronunciation of "Yahweh" it basically comes from the Samaritans, and they are well known for not pronouncing names the same as the Hebrews. And the Greek evidence is all over the place, and they too are know for pronouncing Hebrew names differently that the Hebrew did/do. Why would some one trust the Samaritans and/or Greeks when it comes to a Hebrew name? Especially over the Hebrew evidence such as the Masoretic texts, Aleppo Codex, Leningrad Codex and, plus numerous prayer books.
