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
11Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has rested quietly on his lees, and he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, and into exile he has not gone; therefore his taste has remained in him, and his scent has not changed.
