Where else “divre” appearsYHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.
Where else “yehva” appears10And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into a funeral song; and I will bring up on all loins sackcloth, and on every head baldness; and I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
