יְיָ in Targumic sacred reading
Targumic printed traditions use conventional written forms for the Divine Name. On this slide, the exact source spelling from the selected Onkelos edition must remain visible. The learner-facing English says Hashem. This convention belongs to the Targumic source and should not be used to rewrite the underlying Hebrew verse, which says אֱלֹהִים in Genesis 1:1.
