Comments: Zechariah 1:8-9 ADONAI אֲדֹ נָי is a Hebrew word that is almost entirely used in relation to YHWH in the Hebrew scriptures. The word ADONAI is a plural and translates literally as "my Lords," referencing the Godhead, as are two other titles for the Godhead, YHWH and ELOHIM. It is derived from the singular word "Adon," which means "Lord." Adding the singular suffix yod, transforms the singular word Adon, into the plural and possessive Adonai, referencing the Godhead.
