HEBREW
TRANSLITERATIONS
3.
Lord: Transliteration:
Strong’s H136
אֲדֹנָי [’Adonay /ad·o·noy/] n
m Am emphatic form of
113; TWOT 27b; GK 151; 434 occurrences;
AV translates as “Lord” 431 times,
“lord” twice, and “God” once. 1
my lord, lord. 1a of men. 1b of God. 2 Lord—title, spoken in place of
Yahweh in Jewish display of reverence.
The word “Lord” transliterated by
Strong’s H136 is ’Adonay
/ad·o·noy. This translates in
English as the word “Adonai” meaning Master. That Abraham would bow down and
address one of the men as “My Lord (Adonai/Master)” would intimate that he
recognized Yahweh, but was not sure until later of the full significance of the
event (Genesis 18:22-33). Abraham recognizes Yahweh’s right to command as his
Master, and shows Him the most complete respect and obedience.
