Abomination: something that a people or God rejects with disgust, above all idolatry and the practices God forbids; also a custom another people will not tolerate.

Where else “toavat” appears
to YHWHיְהוָהyehva

YHWH

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” appears
your Elohimאֱלֹהֶיelohe

Elohim

The one true God, the Creator; the word is plural but means one.

Where else “elohe” appears

The context

15A full and just weight you shall have; a full and just ephah you shall have; so that your days may be long on the land that YHWH your Elohim is giving you.
