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

4They will not pour out libations of wine to YHWH, and their sacrifices will not be pleasing to him; they will be like the bread of mourners to them; all who eat it will be defiled; for their bread will be for their soul; it will not come into the house of YHWH.
