With the Hebrew beneath
Joel 2:19, word by word
- And 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.

20And the northerner I will remove far from you, and I will drive him into a land dry and desolate, his front toward the eastern sea, and his rear toward the western sea; and his stench will go up, and his foul smell will go up, for he has done great things.
