Where else “yomru” appearsYHWH
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.

2 · This verse (above)
3But if they become wives to one of the sons of the tribes of the sons of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers and added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; so it will be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.
