GOD
Usage
editUsing this template{{GOD}}
gives "GOD",the standard translation withsmall capitalsfor the Hebrew name for God (יהוה,transliterated asJHVH,interpreted asJehovah), as it is translated in theKing James Bibleand other English Bibles, in the special case when it is in proximity to the Hebrew name Adonai, also meaning "Lord". In this case, "Adonai Jehovah" is translated as "Lord GOD" or "Lord GOD".(See alsothe LORD.)
Theall capsorsmall capswriting differentiate this from "God" in normal type.
Technical
editThis template is a hardcoded instance of{{LORD|G|OD}}
.
The template uses the spelling "GOD", presented in customizedsmall capitals.The style remains full capitals when the text is copy-pasted (unless into an application that accepts pasted style), or when it is displayed in degraded form in a non-CSS, text-only, or crude mobile browser, and when it is displayed as a text snippet in some search-engines results page. In such cases, the word shows as "GOD" in full capitals.
If it is desired that the copy-pasted result be "God", then the{{Smallcaps}}template should be used instead:{{Smallcaps|God}}
→God.
