(And there is no one named "Jehovah Elohim.)

"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life; and man became a living soul" (Gen. 2:7 AV).

The translators have substituted "LORD" in the text for the transliterated YHVH, which is pronounced "Yehovah."

Jehovah Elohim = LORD God wherever you find it in the Authorized Version.
