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
20For you have led yourselves astray at the cost of your souls, when you sent me to YHWH your Elohim, saying, ‘Pray for us to YHWH our Elohim, and according to all that YHWH our Elohim says, so tell us, and we will do it.’
