Adonai
(The name "Adonai" may be translated as a name, "Adonai [my lords], or as the possessive plural noun "my lords." Context supports both translations as there are three men before Avraham allowing for the "my lords" translation but, the three uses of the pronoun "you" in the singular implies that he is speaking to one individual supporting the use of the word as a name.) |
