Where else “yehuda” appears
And 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
my Elohimאֱלֹהַeloha

The one true God, the Creator; the word is plural but means one.

Translation note

“You will flee” (וְנַסְתֶּם): with other vowels (וְנִסְתַּם) the same letters say “the valley will be stopped up.”

The context

4And his feet will stand on that day on the Mount of Olives, which is facing Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle toward the east and toward the west, making a very great valley; and half of the mountain will move toward the north, and its other half toward the south.

5 · This verse (above)

6And it will happen on that day that there will be no light; the splendors will congeal.
