The pluralization of adon "my lord" is adonai "my lords." [2] Otto Eissfeldt theorizes that adonai is a post positive element attested to in Ugaritic writing.He points to the myth of the struggle between Baal and Yam as evidence.
The Arabic version of this is مالك الملك (Malik al-Mulk). Melech HaOlam – 'The King of the World' Memra d'Adonai – 'The Word of the L ORD ' (plus variations such as 'My Word') – restricted to the Aramaic Targums (the written Tetragrammaton is represented in various ways such as YYY, YWY, YY, but pronounced as the Hebrew Adonai)
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 ...
El-Elyon na Adonai (אל עליון נא אדני) is a combination of two names for God, meaning "God Most High, please my Lord". (The 'ai' in 'Adonai' is a possessive.) Na (נא) is a particle of entreaty, translated "please" or "I/we beseech thee", or left untranslated.
Many English translations of the Bible translate the Tetragrammaton as L ORD, following the Jewish practice of substituting Adonai for it.

English translations render the phrase either as "an angel of the Lord" or as "the angel of the Lord". [11] The mentions in Acts 12:11 and Revelation 22:6 of "his angel" (the Lord's angel) can also be understood as referring either to the angel of the Lord or an angel of the Lord.
An Adonaist is a sect or party who maintain that the Hebrew language vowel points ordinarily annexed to the consonants of the word "Jehovah", are not the natural points belonging to that word, and that they do not express the true pronunciation of it; but that they are vowel points belonging to the words, Adonai and Elohim, applied to the ineffable name Jehovah, which the Jews were forbidden ...
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.
