Where else “devar” 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.

Today: Egypt (Nile Valley)
A country in northeast Africa along the Nile River, southwest of Israel.
Joseph was sold into it, and his family went down to live there (Gen 37:28; 46:6). God brought Israel out of it with a mighty hand (Exod 12:41). The child Jesus fled there with his parents (Matt 2:14).
25Thus says YHWH Tsevaot, the Elohim of Israel, saying: You and your wives have spoken with your mouth, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, ‘We will certainly perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens and to pour out libations to her.’ By all means confirm your vows, and by all means perform your vows!
