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
their Elohim.’אֱלֹהֵיelohe

Elohim

The one true God, the Creator; the word is plural but means one.

25Thus says Adonai YHWH: ‘When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they have been scattered, and am shown holy in them in the eyes of the nations, then they will dwell on their ground that I gave to my servant Jacob.
