In the book Archaeology and the New Testament, John McRay wrote that: "another fact worth noting is that as late as the third century some scribes who copied the Greek manuscripts did not use the Greek word κυριος for the Tetragram, but transcribed the Aramaic characteres יהוה (Yahweh) into Greek as ΠΙΠΙ (PIPI)" and referring to ...
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) Mi She'amar V'haya Ha`olam – 'He who spoke, and the world came into being'.
Adonai has a similar context and refers to God as a powerful ruler. [13] [14] Similarly, El Shaddai, derived from "shad" i.e. Lord, also points to the power of God. [13] Yahweh is the principal name in the Old Testament by which God reveals himself and is the most sacred, distinctive and incommunicable name of God. [13]

This is a set of vowels used rarely in the Masoretic Text, and are essentially the vowels from Adonai (with the hataf patakh reverting to its natural state as a shewa). Judges 16:28: יֱהֹוִה Yĕhōwih [71] When the Tetragrammaton is preceded by Adonai, it receives the vowels from the name Elohim instead.
In Christianity, the Old Testament reveals YHWH (יהוה ; often vocalized with vowels as "Yahweh" or "Jehovah") as the personal name of God. [18] [19] References, such as The New Encyclopædia Britannica, affirm the vocalization "Yahweh" by offering additional specifics to its (Christian) reconstruction out of Greek sources:
