How translations render this word
Counts come from each version’s own published word-to-Strong’s tagging or interlinear alignment — an approximate guide to how each version renders this word, not a word-level alignment the data otherwise carries. Because each total is that version’s own tagged count, the per-version totals vary from one another and need not match the appearance or distinct-verse counts above. These counts may also differ from a printed concordance because Lemma counts each distinctly tagged rendering and does not collapse phrase taggings into a single head-word total. This is a fixed set of word-tagged versions (KJV, ASV, BSB, ULT) and does not change with the reading translation you choose elsewhere. Each version’s license is shown beside its name below (and on Sources).

Jastrow Dictionary
A second Hebrew/Aramaic lexicon for comparison, covering Aramaic and post-biblical (Talmudic, Targumic, Midrashic) usage that the biblical-Hebrew BDB does not. Matched by lemma rather than by Strong’s number, so a lemma may carry more than one Jastrow headword (shown separately below), and the entries cover usage well beyond the Bible.
אֲדֹנָי
- plur. excellentiæ) the Lord, Adonai. Gen. R. s. 17; Koh. R. to VII, 23.
אַדְנֵי
- name of a mythical animal, orangoutang(?). Kil. VII, 5, defined Y. ibid. 31ᶜ bot. בר נש דטור mountain-man, brought forth by the mountain and drawing nourishment from the ground (cmp. Job V, 23). Koh. R. to VI, 11. e.g. Job 5:23
אדני
- Sabb. 35ᵇ, v. אֲרוֹנֵי

Forms in the corpus
The 49 distinct written forms H136 takes in the Hebrew Bible, most frequent first — each parse links to that state’s occurrences in the concordance. Hebrew forms include their vowel points and cantillation, so a single lemma takes many written forms.

Septuagint verse parallels
This word appears in 399 verses that also exist in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), out of the 430 Hebrew verses it occurs in. You can read those verses in Greek by switching the Old Testament edition to the Septuagint.

- Exodus 4:10
- Numbers 14:17
- Deuteronomy 3:24

This is a verse-level parallel only — the same verses exist in both the Hebrew and Greek Old Testaments. No word-level Hebrew↔Greek correspondence is claimed: the data carries no such alignment, so no Greek word is shown as this Hebrew word’s translation. Coverage is not total — the Septuagint omits the deuterocanon and renumbers the Psalms, so some Hebrew verses have no direct Greek parallel.
