2d. He urges that if the words Melach Jehovah were to be rendered the Angel Jehovah, then we should expect to find the article before the word Melach; because, he says, the word Adon uniformly has it when employed to designate Jehovah. But this is a misstatement. When so employed, that word, in its different forms, is generally without the article; as Joshua iii. 11 and 13: "The ark of the covenant of _Adon_," translated _the_ Lord, "of all the earth." "The ark of Adon Jehovah, Adon of all the earth," rendered in our version, "the ark of _the_ Lord, _the_ Lord of all the earth." Here the translators suppress the word Adon where it first occurs; probably assuming, as in the case of Melach above referred to, that it was not in apposition with the next word, Jehovah; and seeing that if it was not, the version must be, the Lord _of_ the Lord, as they rendered Melach Jehovah, the angel _of_ the Lord. But the reference of the word Adon being in every such connection identical with that of the word Jehovah, and the two words, when conjoined, being, like Melach Jehovah, in apposition, the version should have been, the Lord (who is) Jehovah, the Lord of all the earth. Again, 1 Kings ii. 26: "The ark of Adon Jehovah," rendered, the ark of the Lord God; where the two words are taken to be in apposition: and if the translator felt a difficulty, he would seem to have sought to avoid it, as in other like instances, by an unusual version of the word Jehovah. Again, 2 Kings xxii. 6: "Go up, for Adon," rendered _the_ Lord, "shall deliver it." And to give but one other out of very numerous instances, Ps. lxviii. 20: "Unto Jehovah Adon," rendered God the Lord, "belong the issues from death." In all the foregoing and similar instances the sense requires the words "who is" to be inserted or understood.
