Word of the Day: Adonai

Hebrew for Lord or Master, "Adonai" is often cited today as another of God's names. 

In many English translations, Adonai is translated as LORD, with the word being recognized as a title, rather than name, as used in Genesis 15:2; 

And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

And also as used in 1 Samuel 24:8, where David calls Saul his Lord; 

David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
