Adonai: The Divine Name of the God of Israel

Today I want to talk about the divine name, Adonai. And when you hear Adonai, that's the Hebrew word for Lord. Now, as a bit of an introduction to how I talk about this, I'm not going to pronounce the name as it has the pronunciation has been reconstructed by scholars in entirely academic settings. So I'm going to say Adonai and occasionally refer to it as the tetragrammaton - Yodhay, Vavhay which is presented as the personal name of the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible.
