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

Translation note

To “wave” (henif) is, according to Strong, to move to and fro; the offering was waved “before YHWH.”

The context

23and one round loaf of bread, and one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before YHWH.
