Hi, people here might be interested in the coming revision of the JPS Tanakh
https://jps.org/the-jps-tanakh-gender-sensitive-edition/
There are a number of comparisons and a detailed description of methodology.
A big change is moving from LORD for the Tetragrammaton to a variety of small caps words - GOD, ETERNAL etc.
I've wondered about that for a while - the use of Eternal is pretty old (I think one of the earliest French bibles used it) though not of course as long as Lord.
Of course the JPS translators don't have to consider potential linkage to phrases such as "Jesus is Lord".
