Where else “matay” appears- shall the wickedרְשָׁעִיםreshaim
wicked
One who does evil, the opposite of the righteous.
Where else “reshaim” appears- 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.
Where else “yehva” appears- exultיַעֲלֹזוּyaalozu
exult
Leap for joy, exult.
Where else “yaalozu” appears
