Usage notes
In Jewish practice, the Tetragrammaton (the Hebrew name of God, ) is written directly in the Tanakh but spoken aloud as Adonai (🇨🇬). The scholars responsible for the Septuagint translation of the Tanakh into Koine preserved this tradition by writing appearances of the Tetragrammaton as ) and English translations of the Bible have similarly presented appearances of Adonai as "Lord", "the Lord", or "The Lord" while presenting appearances of the Tetragrammaton as "LORD" (as in the 1611 edition of the King James Bible ), "", "", "the LORD", etc.

However, by this rule, the sequence אֲדֹנָי יהוה would be infelicitously translated as "the Lord the LORD". This is resolved by translating the divine name as 'God' instead of 'Lord', with the corresponding case convention.
