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

Where else “el” appears“The daughter of a foreign god” can be understood as a woman who worships another god.
Jerusalem
Today: Old City of Jerusalem
A city in the hills of Judea, about 22 miles (35 km) west of the Dead Sea and 35 miles (55 km) east of the Mediterranean.
David took it and made it his city (2 Sam 5:7); Solomon built the temple there (1 Kgs 8:1). Jesus was presented there, and the apostles' witness began from it (Luke 2:22; Acts 1:8).
10Is there not one father for all of us? Has not one El created us? Why do we betray, each his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
11 · This verse (above)
12May YHWH cut off the man who does it, the one who wakes and the one who answers, from the tents of Jacob, and the one who offers an offering to YHWH Tsevaot.
