Where else “amar” appearsYHWH
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.

9And it will be to me a name of joy, a praise and a beauty before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the good that I am doing for them; and they will fear and tremble because of all the good and because of all the peace that I am bringing about for it.
