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.

9 · This verse (above)
10For before those days the wages of human beings did not exist, and the wages of livestock were none; and for the one going out and for the one coming in there was no peace because of the adversary; and I let loose all human beings, each against his neighbor.
