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.

The context
12So the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their back before their enemies, for they have become a thing devoted to destruction. I will not be with you any more unless you destroy the things devoted to destruction from among you.
