Note that the Jah mentioned is not YHWH of Judaism and Christianity, but the Jah of the Ras Tafari movement, who is also referenced in Get Up, Stand Up ("mighty god is a living man"). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastafari

You're putting words in a dead man's mouth. Most are aware or the references contained in 'Get Up Stand Up' but those who care to see also have discovered Mr. Marleys conversion into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church before his death. This is the Ethiopian state church under the emperor, or your 'jah' : Haile Selassie I. Selassie himself was a member of the orthodox christian church his entire life.
