Line 2: The Tetragrammaton appears in the Mt. Gerizim inscriptions only in Neo-Hebrew script. In inscriptions using Aramaic scripts, God is referred to as אלהא 'the God,' but in inscriptions whose language is Hebrew, the terminology אדני 'the Lord', is employed. The priests used the Hebrew language script, and were the only ones to use the Tetragrammaton, a practice that had fallen into disuse among the other strata of society.
