The Septuagint may have originally used the Hebrew letters themselves amid its Greek text, [31] [32] but there is no scholarly consensus on this point. All surviving Christian-era manuscripts use Kyrios (Κυριος 'Lord') or very occasionally Theos (Θεος 'God') to translate the many thousand occurrences of the Name. [33]
The Vulgate (Latin translation) made from the Hebrew in the 4th century CE, [127] uses the word Dominus ("Lord"), a translation of the Hebrew word Adonai, for the Tetragrammaton. [126] The Vulgate translation, though made not from the Septuagint but from the Hebrew text, did not depart from the practice used in the Septuagint.

The template uses the spelling "LORD", presented in customized small capitals.The style remains full capitals when the text is copy-pasted (unless into an application that accepts pasted style), and when it is displayed in degraded form in a non-CSS, text-only, or crude mobile browser, and when it is displayed as a text snippet in some search-engines' results page.
Or Adonai (Hebrew: אור אֲדֹנָי), The Light of the Lord, is the primary work of Rabbi Hasdai Crescas (c. 1340 - 1410/1411), a Jewish philosopher. As some Jews prefer to not use even the respectful title Adonai (Lord) other than in prayer (see names of God in Judaism ), the book is sometimes called Or Hashem (אור השם) in verbal ...
Sidney Jellicoe wrote that "the evidence most recently to hand is tending to confirm the testimony of Origen and Jerome, and that Kahle is right in holding that LXX texts, written by Jews for Jews, retained the divine name in Hebrew Letters (paleo-Hebrew or Aramaic) or in the Greek-letters imitative form ΠΙΠΙ, and that its replacement by ...
