shalom Ray,

I didn't understand your comment that something other than
plural of majesty is happening with adonim.
You should also include be`alim in your study 'owner'.

The idiom is still used today: habe`alim = the owner.
You might want to glance at my JBL article, Dec l985 on
Lu 19.31-34 Mishnaic Hebrew and Bible Translation, Is
KURIOI TOU PWLOU Singular?
This discusses the biblical plurals and proceeds into
mishnaic Hebrew as a background to understand Luke
and/or his sources.

blessings,
Randall Buth
