Usage notes

So ſpricht der HErr HERR (Ezekiel 13:13)

In Jewish practice, the Tetragrammaton (the Hebrew name of God, יהוה (YHWH)) is written directly in the Tanakh but spoken aloud as Adonai (Hebrew אֲדֹנָי (Adonai, “my Lord”)). The scholars responsible for the Septuagint translation of the Tanakh into Koine preserved this tradition by writing appearances of the Tetragrammaton as ὁ κύριος (ho kúrios, “the supreme one; the Lord, Kyrios”)) and German translations of the Bible have similarly presented appearances of Adonai as "Herr" or "HErr" while presenting appearances of the Tetragrammaton as "HERR" (see image).
