The Key Word — יְהוָ֣ה, Yah.wehgenerated
The name יְהוָה (Yahweh) signifies the self-existent and eternal nature of God. It is often rendered as 'the LORD' in English translations and is deeply connected to God's covenant with His people, particularly as revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15.
This name is used throughout the Old Testament to denote God's unique identity and authority, setting Him apart from all other deities. The parsing as a proper noun indicates its specific reference to the God of Israel, emphasizing His personal relationship with His people.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In this study, we reference the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), which aligns closely with the KJV and ASV in rendering יְהוָה as O LORD.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse contains a main clause with a finite verb בְּעָל֥וּנוּ (they have ruled over us) that governs the subject אֲדֹנִ֖ים (lords) and includes additional phrases that clarify the relationship between the lords and Yahweh.
The structure emphasizes the contrast between the many lords and the singularity of Yahweh, with the prepositional phrase לְבַד־ (only) highlighting the exclusivity of God's authority.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, יְהוָה is rendered as κύριε (Lord), which conveys the same sense of authority and divinity. This choice reflects the translators' intent to maintain the reverence associated with the divine name.
The use of κύριε in the LXX underscores the continuity of God's identity from the Hebrew text to the Greek, affirming His sovereignty over all other lords.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
