The 134 Passages Where The
Sopherim Altered "Jehovah" to "Adonai". This Is Appendix 32
From The Companion Bible.
Out of extreme (but mistaken) reverence for the
Ineffable Name "Jehovah", the ancient custodians of the
Sacred Text substituted in many places "Adonai" (see Appendix 4. viii.
2). These, in the Authorized Version and Revised Version, are all
printed "Lord". In all these places we have printed it
"LORD", marking the word with an asterisk in addition to the
note in the margin, to inform the reader of the fact.
The official list given in the
Massorah (§§ 107-15, Ginsburg's edition) contains the 134.
