sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It is the holy name of God that Jews do not say aloud, and the Torah prints it as "the LORD". Interpretation: Tradition treats it as God's most sacred name, read aloud as "Adonai" instead, and Sefer Yetzirah commentators play with permutations of its letters.
