- saysאָמַרamar

To say with the mouth to someone what one thinks or wants, or to answer him.
Where else “amar” appears- YHWHיְהוָהyehva
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.

12And I will take the remnant of Judah who have set their faces to go to the land of Egypt to reside as aliens there, and they will all come to an end; in the land of Egypt they will fall; by the sword and by famine they will come to an end; from the small to the great, by the sword and by famine they will die; and they will become an imprecation, a horror, and a curse and a reproach.
