YHWH.’יְהוָהyehva

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

The context

29And they will know that I am YHWH, when I make the land a desolation and a horror because of all their abominations that they have done.’

30 · This verse (above)

31And they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they profess love, but after their gain their heart goes.
