HERR m (proper noun, strong, genitive HERRN)

1. Typographical variant of Herr, particularly in German translations of the Bible.
   • 1912, Martin Luther, Lutherbibel von 1912, Exodus 20:2 (with KJV translation)

     Ich bin der HERR, dein Gott, der ich dich aus Ägyptenland, aus dem Diensthause geführt habe.

     I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage

So ſpricht der HErr HERR (Ezekiel 13:13)

In Jewish practice, the Tetragrammaton (the Hebrew name of God, יהוה‎ (YHWH)) is written directly in the Tanakh but spoken aloud as Adonai (Hebrew אֲדֹנָי‎ (Adonai, “my Lord”)). The scholars responsible for the Septuagint translation of the Tanakh into Koine preserved this tradition by writing appearances of the Tetragrammaton as ὁ κύριος (ho kúrios, “the supreme one; the Lord, Kyrios”)) and German translations of the Bible have similarly presented appearances of Adonai as "Herr" or "HErr" while presenting appearances of the Tetragrammaton as "HERR" (see image).
