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.

8And he will be like a tree planted by the waters, and by the stream it sends out its roots; and it will not see when heat comes, and its leaf will be flourishing; and in the year of drought it will not be anxious, nor cease from bearing fruit.
