Help[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce this name?
in reply to a message by Pink Princess
Based on how it is written in Hebrew I would pronounce it Seh-lah, rhyming with Ella. I don't know if it is pronounced that way in English. Of the two you mentioned, the Hebrew vowel for that the first vowel sound is closer to SAY-lah than SEE-lah.

Thanks. Trying to find what the most authentic Hebrew to English pronunciation would be!

My knowledge of biblical pronunciation is limited, but if it is spelled סֶלָה then it uses the segol vowel. That would make "eh" the closest vowel sound in English.
