Notes:
- From the Dana Pike article (above): “In some biblical passages, the title ‘adonay immediately precedes the divine name yhwh. As mentioned above, the practice of pronouncing ‘adonay, ‘Lord,’ developed when the name yhwh was encountered in the biblical text. Therefore, occurrences of the phrase ‘adonay yhwh are usually rendered ‘Lord God’ in English (with God printed with small caps), rather than the expected but redundant-looking ‘Lord Lord,’ even though the word ‘God’ is not in the Hebrew of this phrase. One well-known example of this appears in Amos 3:7: ‘Surely the Lord God [‘adonay yhwh] will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.’”
