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
6In all your dwelling places the cities will be laid waste, and the high places will be desolate, so that your altars will be laid waste and be guilty, and your idols will be broken and cease, and your incense altars will be cut down, and your works wiped out.
