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.

5Not because of your righteousness or because of the uprightness of your heart are you going in to take possession of their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations YHWH your Elohim is dispossessing them from before you, and in order to establish the word that YHWH swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
