Sir
Morrish Bible Dictionary
In Genesis 43:20 the word is adon, often translated 'Lord.' In the Acts (except in Acts 16:30 ) the word is ἀνίρ, 'man,' and is used as a term of respect. In all other places in the N.T. the word is κύριος, commonly translated 'Lord': in these cases the context determines how it should be rendered.
