225: Defining Adonai - Free Audiobook

This week's episode explores the popular noun Adonai as it describes the God of Israel. We define its meaning and show how its form is plural but singular in function. We then look at biblical examples to demonstrate that the authors of the Hebrew Bible employed the title Adonai to depict God as a single person. We also examine whether Adonai is a plural of majesty word and why that is noteworthy. Lastly, we discuss the significance of the long Jewish history of using Adonai as a polite circumlocution for the divine name.  Please consider supporting this Podcast and future projects by donating at: https://www.paypal.me/10mintruthtalks                                             To view the notes from this episode please click the link below: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ctOrMNsH7tKgzG\_r06lbCVlQg4sDrPuV8js2d3-ubJs/edit?usp=sharing          Check out some of my videos on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG5H6oqEnhFjdUryhDOYSvQ
