The following articles use {{LORD}}:

  • David
    Seven of Jesse's sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel says "The LORD has not chosen these." He then asks "Are these all the sons you have?" and Jesse answers, "There is still the youngest but he is tending the sheep." David is brought to Samuel, and "the LORD said, 'Rise and anoint him; he is the one.'"
    Quotation: This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them … Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
    For example, “At noon, will I pray, and cry aloud” Ps 55:17. “In my distress I cried to the LORD” Ps 18:6. “Unto thee have I cried, O LORD” Ps 88:13. “Out of the depths have I cried” Ps 130:1. “Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock” Ps 28:1.
    Quotation: I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
  • Elijah
    The mission of Elijah is mentioned in the Qur'an, where his powerful preaching is recounted. He told his people to come back to the worship of the LORD and to leave the worship of idols.
    Quotation:
    Verily Elias is one of the apostles.
    When he said to his people: "Will you not fear God?
    "Will ye call upon Ba'al and leave the Best of Creators,
    God, your LORD and Cherisher and the LORD and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
    Quran 37:123–126
  • Monotheism
    While the creation story in Genesis Ch. 01, which alludes to Enuma Elish, the Babylonian creation story by the god Marduk after his defeat of Tiamat, offers a monotheistic alternative to the Mesopotamian myth, Second Isaiah makes this explicit. It was Yahweh, not Marduk, who defeated primeval chaos, the "great deep" (Isa 51:10), Second Isaiah repeatedly says, it was Yahweh, not Marduk, who created the world; Isaiah 40:12 "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and marked off the heavens with a span, enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?" It was Yahweh, not Marduk, who formed light and created darkness; Isaiah 45:7 "I form light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe; I the LORD do all these things. " Moreover, unlike Marduk, God did it alone without any assistance; Isaiah 44:24 "I am the LORD, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who by myself spread out the earth", Isaiah 43:10 "Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me."
    "I am the Lord (Yahweh), your God (Elohim), who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall not have another god (Elohim) in My presence."(Exodus, 20:2-3) "I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as Almighty God (El Shaddai), but [with] My name Lord (Yahweh), I did not become known to them."(Exodus, 6:3)
The Shema
Hebrew שמע ישראל יי אלהנו יי אחד
Common transliteration Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad
English Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God! The LORD is One!
  • Judaism, however, insists that the "LORD is One," as in the Shema, and at least two interpretations exist to explain the Torah's use of the plural form. The first is that the plural form "Elohim" is analogous to the royal plural as used in English. The second is that, in order to set an example for human kings, Elohim consulted with his court (the angels, just created) before making a major decision (creating man).
  • God of Israel
    The eponymous ancestor of the Israelites is Jacob, the biblical patriarch who was dubbed Israel "God rules/struggles" (or "one who has prevailed with God", Rashi) after his encounter with God at the Jabbok. For this reason, the God of Israel is also known as God of Jacob, and after the earlier biblical patriarchs as God of Abraham and God of Isaac (Exodus 3:6: אלהי אברהם אלהי יצחק ואלהי יעקב). The Hebrew Bible frequently references the God of Israel as יהוה אלהי ישראל, literally "Yahweh, the Elohim of Israel", rendered in English Bible translations as "the LORD, God of Israel".(e.g. Exodus 5:1, Joshua 7:13, etc.; in Exodus 34:23 also האדון יהוה אלהי ישראל "the Lord, GOD of Israel".)
    In Judaism, the Tetragrammaton is conventionally substituted by Adonai ("my Lord") when reading the text of the Bible. Based on this practice, the traditional translation of the Tetragrammaton in Christian Bibles is "the LORD". When transcribing the Tetragrammaton, the vocalization Jehovah has been popular in particular in Protestantism from the time of the Reformation.
    The King James Bible, the New American Standard Bible, and the New International Version substitute the titles “LORD” and “GOD” with all the letters capitalized where the Name “Yahweh” actually belongs. The name "Yahweh" does not appear in the text of most popular English Bible translations on the market today. Jewish Bible scholars introduced this tradition in the mid-2nd century B.C., and it has continued since that time. In 1611, the inaugural edition of the King James Bible editors did not include the name ”Yahweh.”
  • Zechariah (priest)
    Quotation:
    And said: "O my LORD, my bones decay, my head is white and hoary, yet in calling You, O LORD, I have never been deprived.
    But I fear my relatives after me; and my wife is barren. So grant me a successor of Your own
    Who will be heir to me, and heir to the house of Jacob; and make him obedient to You, O LORD"Quran 19:4–6
    Quotation:
    "O Zachariah," (it was said), "We give you good news of a son by the name of John. To none have we attributed that name before."
    "How can I have a son, O LORD" he said, "when my wife is barren and I am old a decrepit?"
    (The angel) answered: "Thus will it be. Your LORD said: 'This is easy for Me; for when I brought you into being you were nothing.'"
    (Zachariah) said: "O LORD, give me a Sign." "Your sign" He answered, "shall be that you shall speak to no man for three days, although you are not dumb."Quran 19:7–10
    Quotation:
    Behold! A woman of 'Imran said: "O my LORD! I do dedicate unto You what is in my womb for Your special service, so accept this of me, for You hear all and know all things."
    And when she had given birth to the child, she said: "O LORD, I have delivered but a girl." But God knew best what she had delivered: A boy could not be as that girl was. "I have named her Mary, (she said), and I give her into your keeping. Preserve her and her children from Satan, the rejected."
    Her LORD accepted her graciously, and she grew up with excellence, and was given into the care of Zachariah. Whenever Zachariah came to see her in the chamber, he found her provided with food, and he asked: "Where has this come from, O Mary?" And she said: "From God, who gives food in abundance to whomsoever He will."Quran 3:35–37
