Notes: Adonay is the emphatic form of ’āḏôn: reserved for God; reverential title; a divine name, translated "Lord", and signifying, from its derivation, "sovereignty". Its vowels are found in the Massoretic Text with the unpronounceable tetragrammaton YHWH; and when the Hebrew reader came to these letters, he always substituted in pronunciation the word "adhonay" as its vowels combined with the tetragrammaton form the word "Yahweh". ^BibleHub
