Isaiah 6:1

The Lord - Fifty-one MSS. of Kennicott's, and fifty-four of De Rossi's, and one edition; in the 8th verse, ( Isaiah 6:8 ;); forty-four MSS. of Kennicott's, and forty-six of De Rossi's, and one edition; and in the 11th verse ( Isaiah 6:11 ;); thirty-three MSS. of Kennicott's, and many of De Rossi's, and one edition, for אדני Adonai , "the Lord" read יהוה " Jehovah ," which is probably the true reading; (compare Isaiah 6:6 ;); as in many other places, in which the superstition of the Jews has substituted אדני Adonai for יהוה Yehovah . One of my own MSS., a very ancient and large folio, to which the points and the masora have been added by a later hand, has יהוה Yehovah in the 1st and 8th verses, in the teeth of the masora, which orders it in both places to be read אדני Adonai .
