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.

15 · This verse (above)

16When you transgress the covenant of YHWH your Elohim that he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, then the anger of YHWH will burn against you, and you will perish quickly from off the good land that he has given you.”
