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
20Therefore thus says Adonai YHWH: Look, I am against your pads with which you hunt there the souls as birds that fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and I will set free the souls that you hunt, the souls, as birds that fly.
