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- our righteousnessצִדְקֵtsidke
righteousness
Living uprightly before God.
Where else “tsidke” appears
Translation note
In 33:16 the same name is given to Jerusalem. Paul says of Christ that he became “righteousness” for us (1 Corinthians 1:30).
