Bible Question: Why is the word LORD in all capitals? |
Bible Answer: When the various Bible translations encounter the tetragrammaton, in order to distinguish it, they place it in all caps. The Jew was forbidden to speak the name of God except under very specific circumstances. Therefore, when they encountered it in reading the Scriptures aloud, they would substitute Adonai; i.e., Lord. |
