"Adonai" (אֲדֹנָי)
is a Hebrew title for God, meaning "Lord" or
"Master."
 Key Points:
- Linguistic Meaning:
 - Adonai is the plural form of Adon
      (אָדוֹן), which means "lord" or "master."
 - Though plural in form, it is used with singular
      verbs when referring to God, indicating majesty or supreme
      authority—not multiple gods.
 - Reverence for the Name of God:
 - Jewish tradition avoids pronouncing YHWH
      (the sacred Tetragrammaton, God's personal name).
 - Instead, Adonai is said aloud when reading YHWH
      in the Hebrew Bible.
 - Used in Worship:
 - It acknowledges God's lordship and authority
      over all.
 - Believers use it to show submission, reverence,
      and honor to God as Master and Ruler.
 - Biblical Examples:
 - Psalm 8:1 – "O Lord (Adonai), our
      Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!"
 - Genesis 15:2 – Abraham says, “O Lord God
      (Adonai YHWH), what will you give me…”
 
When you call God Adonai, you are:
- Acknowledging Him as your Master
 - Surrendering to His authority and will
 - Honoring Him with reverent obedience
