In the story of the Garden of Eden, the Torah primarily uses the name
"YHWH Elohim" (יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים), which is often translated as
"the Lord God".
* Elohim is a more general term for "God" and can refer to any deity.
* YHWH (often vocalized as Yahweh or Jehovah, although the original pronunciation is uncertain) is considered the personal name of God in the Hebrew Bible and is treated with great reverence.
The combination of the two names emphasizes both God's power and authority (Elohim) and His personal relationship with humanity (YHWH).
