Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root אָדוֹן (adon), meaning "lord" or "master."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G1203: δεσπότης (despotes) • A term for "master" or "lord," used in the New Testament to denote authority and ownership.
G2233: ἡγέομαι (hegeomai) • To lead or rule, often used in the context of leadership or authority.
G2316: θεός (theos) • The Greek word for "God," used throughout the New Testament to refer to the divine.
G2962: κύριος (kurios) • Translated as "Lord," this term is used in the New Testament to refer to Jesus Christ and God, reflecting authority and divinity.

The use of "Adonai" in the Hebrew Bible and its Greek equivalents in the New Testament highlights the continuity of the concept of divine lordship and authority across the biblical canon.

Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, "Adonai" is used as a title for God, emphasizing His role as the supreme ruler and master. It is often used in prayer and worship, reflecting the speaker's acknowledgment of God's authority and majesty.

Context: • "Adonai" is a plural form, which is used singularly when referring to God, indicating majesty and honor. It is a term of respect and reverence, often used in place of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) in Jewish tradition to avoid pronouncing the sacred name of God.
• The use of "Adonai" underscores the relationship between God and His people, highlighting His role as the sovereign ruler and the one to whom worship and obedience are due.
• In the Hebrew Scriptures, "Adonai" appears in various contexts, often in conjunction with other names of God, such as "Adonai YHWH" (Lord GOD), to emphasize different aspects of His character and relationship with humanity.
• The term is frequently found in the Psalms and prophetic books, where it is used in prayers, declarations of God's power, and calls for divine intervention.
• Example from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB): Psalm 110:1 • "The LORD said to my Lord: 'Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.'"
