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.

Places in this verse
Horeb ?
Today: disputed; traditionally Jebel Musa, Sinai, Egypt
The mountain of God in the wilderness; another name for Sinai or a nearby mountain, and its location is not certain.
There God spoke to Moses from the bush that burned without burning up (Exod 3:1-2). Elijah came there fleeing from Jezebel (1 Kgs 19:8).
The context
7Remember, do not forget, how you made YHWH your Elohim angry in the wilderness. From the day that you came out of the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against YHWH.
