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.

"LORD."

Where in Authorized Version and Revised Version it still appears as

"God". It is printed "GOD" in the Companion Bible

Note: The printed version, That I possess, shows a sample Massorah page

as it was altered  with the origina word crossed out; but, it does not appear on the  download file so I could not copy it here for you to see how original text has been altered. Thank God for "The Massorah" and Esra and Nehemiah  for preserving  Moses' original  transcript.  There is a original copy of this alteration in the British Museum Library.
