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.

The context
8Moses said, “This will happen when YHWH gives you in the evening meat to eat and bread in the morning to the full, because YHWH has heard your grumblings that you grumble against him. As for us, what are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against YHWH.”
