Philip,
Maybe "shem hamephorash hashem" could be understood if "shem" is understood as "name of".

Then maybe it means "(the) name of the mephorash HaShem" (the adjective mephorash being used as a substantive), or else "the mephorash name of HaShem". Don't be surprised if I'm wrong, I only know a little Hebrew.


Philip Engmann wrote:
"Whenever, therefore, this nomen tetragrammaton occurred in the sacred
text, (shem hameporash hashem)[1] they were accustomed to substitute
for it Adonai."[2]

The above is a quote from Gesenius's OT lexicon.[3]

I find it difficult to translate and interpret the phrase, shem
hameporash hashem.

The best I can do is literally, "name, the distinct name", or "name, the
holy name".

Philip
