ASK FATHER
Question: Father, in Bible study you said something about the word LORD with all capital letters. What was that? Could you please explain that again?
Answer: Yes I did. In Hebrew Scripture, the name of God, Yahweh, is written as four letter, the Tetragrammaton - יהוה .Since the commandments forbid the use of the name of God in vain, the Children of Israel eventually avoided speaking the name all together. Instead of saying God’s name, they change the four letters to the word Adonai, which means ‘Lord”. What translators of the Bible do to help you know the name of God was written but is being said as Lord is to write the word in all capital letters. So if you see LORD written in the Hebrew Scripture, you know the word that was actually there was God’s name we will not speak. I hope -
