The name YHVH (also rendered as YHWH, JHVH, Yahweh, Jehovah) is used in the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament as the personal name of God. Over time, the name YHVH became considered too sacred to say aloud, and so in speaking was replaced with ''Adonai'' (the Lord); as such, in English versions of the Bible, it is conventionally translated as "the <span style="font-variant:small-caps">Lord</span>," with the small capitals distinguishing uses of YHVH in the original Hebrew from uses of ''Adonai''. | ||
