YHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels.

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.

2and they will spread them out before the sun and the moon and all the army of the heavens, which they have loved and which they have served and after which they have walked and which they have sought and to which they have bowed down.
