in many versions of the old testament of the bible, the word "lᴏʀᴅ" is set in small caps. typically, an ordinary "lord" corresponds to the use of the word "adonai" in the original hebrew, but the small caps "lᴏʀᴅ" corresponds to the use of "yahweh" in the original; in some versions the compound "lord gᴏᴅᴇᴢʜ" represents the hebrew compound "adonai yahweh".
