It is assumed that early Jewish Christians inherited from Jews the practice of reading "Lord" where the tetragrammaton appeared in the Hebrew text, or where a tetragrammaton may have been marked in a Greek text.
Telah diasumsikan bahwa umat Kristen Yahudi awal mewarisi tradisi Yahudi dalam praktik pembacaan "Tuhan" di mana tetragrammaton ini muncul dalam teks Ibrani, atau di mana suatu tetragrammaton mungkin telah ditandai dalam sebuah teks Yunani.
