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.

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

One thing alone, set apart from the rest; also the expression 'besides'.

Translation note
In Mark 12:32 the scribe repeats this confession of one God: “there is no other besides him.”
The context
34Or has a god tried to come and take for himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a strong hand and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that YHWH your Elohim did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
