Sorry , l got verses muddled up , in verse 3 it is Adonai but in verse 1 the Tetragrammaton is used . So it is Yahweh , Jehovah who appears to Abraham . Also as pointed out Yahweh appears to other people as well . So by using their beloved word Jehovah they have created a problem . As OFS points out the " angel " in question accepts Abraham bowing down to him .
Diogenesister , thanks for that mental picture ! Not . Jan -

It was free, so "Yoink". It includes "The Apocrypha". I've leafed through it, has "Book of Maccabees" and others.
It seems to be an interesting translation.
Edit:
Genesis 18"The Lord appeared to him at the terebinth of Mamre, as he was sitting at the doorway of his tent ..."
