Divine Titles and Their Significance

This name as referring to God occurs first in
Ex. 23:17,
17
Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord God. (Exodus 23:17)
and is the singular of Adonai and means lord, master. It occurs 300 times in the Old Testament, under the names, Lord or Master. It refers far more often to earthly masters, kings, rulers and great men than to God Himself. It is easily seen by the context whether the names apply to God or to an earthly master.
