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.
Where else “yehva” appears
The context
29Summon against Babylon archers, all who bend the bow; encamp against her all around; let there be no escape for her. Repay her according to her deeds; according to all that she has done, do to her; for against YHWH she has acted insolently, against the Holy One of Israel.
