使用する際の注意点

YHWH, the Hebrew name of the Abrahamic God, is usually read by Jews as "Adonai" while praying or reading the Torah. Similarly, the word "Adonai" is usually restricted to this use and is replaced by Hashem ("The Name") in ordinary speech. This use has been followed in other languages since at least the surviving texts of the Septuagint, with the Vulgate employing "Dominus" and most English translations of the Bible employing the Lord or the LORD for instances of the name YHWH in the Hebrew text.
