So wherever you see '"LORD" in small caps, that's actually the English translation for Yahweh, the proper name, like almost a personal name for God. And then in other places we have this word Elohim, which actually is the word for "gods," a sort of generic term for deities in the plural.

所以你们看到小写的时,其实是耶和华的英文翻译，正确的名字,像是上帝个人的名字,有时候我们用，Elohim一词，这是对,神一词的复数形式的翻译。
