Dear Friends,
I understand that the Hebrew word 'DON means "lord, master", but it also appears as 'DONAI and is also used of God. At first glance, it looks like it is in the construct state, but I am understand that it is actually in the plural and means "my lords", and is so used even in contemporary Judaism in place of the Divine Name when reading the MT. Your comments would be appreciated.
