| HYPOTHESIS: What does Lord mean? INTRODUCTION: The Old Testament contains a Hebrew word 'adown' which some religions of faith assume means 'master' in some contexts of Scripture. This greatly impacts our view of Scripture in the New Testament especially when the translation of Hebrew into Greek, via the LXX is concerned. During the Alexander the Great days, Alexander asked 70 Jewish scholars to translate Hebrew scripture into Greek, and we have to ask what word did they use for 'Adown'? The answer is 'kurios'. Yes, but in the Old Testament how did the Jews see 'adown' as a Hebrew word in meaning? Hebrew is an Eastern religion, vastly different from Greek thinking, then we would expect the English word 'Lord' is a better meaning than 'master'. They were people of respect, even wives called their husbands 'lord', the one who rules over a community of families. This impacts how we translate 'kurios' in the New Testament, as Jesus. Some religions of faith try to downgrade Jesus as a 'Master' rather than as a 'Lord'.
Jeff Benner in his ancient Hebrew lexicon dictionary shows the meaning of 'adown' as Lord. This study will validate if this is correct. What is puzzling to a translator is there are two different Hebrew words for 'Lord',so what is the difference between 'adown' and 'adonay'. The letter difference is the 'active hand', so 'Adonay' is more an 'active Lord' but this has no English equivalent. See studies of Adonay LORD. Some scholars say 'adonay' is the plural of 'adown', but I don't see this, because a plural word in Hebrew ends with Both 'Master' and 'Lord' mean to rule over a community, but the English meaning for 'Master' expresses less power, than Lord. This study investigates what this word means when addressing a heavenly Being especially... METHOD: All words in OT Hebrew studied. There is no New Testament list of words in this study. PICTURE: The pictograph reads "The strong door secure over the nations". CONCLUSION: The Hebrew word 'adown' means 'Lord' for all verses, but when referencing a heavenly Being, the word 'adown' suggests 'Lord Jesus'. Thus we find strong evidence for 'Lord Jesus' in the Old Testament. PERSONAL APPLICATION: The Hebrew word 'adown' means 'Lord' not 'Master'. This has profound implications for the 'Lord Jesus' in the New Testament Scriptures. The New Testament refers to "Jesus" as "Lord". The Old Testament refers to Jesus as "adown" or "Lord Jesus". Some important texts to consider are :- (66) Ex 23:17 Three times in the year , all thy males shall appear before the Lord (adown) GOD .
First time a heavenly Being is referenced as Lord Adown.

Adown cannot mean 'master' because the word is found referring a 'king' over his 'kingdom'. Thus 'lord' is more appropriate meaning. Over 60 verses use 'Lord' to refer to 'king'.

or 'm' and we do not see this Hebrew letter.
Hence 'adonay' as 'active-Lord' is a better meaning.
