Hi! While I primarily use ESV, I like how the the NIV often uses term "Sovereign LORD" to describe God in OT but notice none of the literal translations uses this terminology. Rather they just use LORD GOD. I know that NIV is a dynamic equivalent so this could probably account for the difference. Do you think the NIV is taking too much liberty in adding sovereign?
I am wondering where they get sovereign from
אֲדֹנָי Adonay
יְהֹוָה Yĕhovah
or are they just reemphasizes what LORD means, being that a LORD is also a Sovereign. I know some think putting "Sovereign LORD" is redundant but I think important for people who may be unchurched to know the God is sovereign.
Thoughts? Thank you!
