Please help interpret the passages

[andrewlya]

Genesis 19: 24 Then YHWH rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from YHWH out of the heavens.


Does it read as if there are two YHWHs in action? From Shema we know that there is One YHWH. I find it hard text to understand, can someone explain this?

I would be interested how you read the passage above so that you understand it as two different Beeings.

As I read it, it's the same Person. As if someone is sitting in his paraglider and is pouring out his drinking water to the earth. People on the beach would say: Hey, this person above is raining water on us! Then a second, closer look: he pours it out out of his paraglider. - Just a more specific description of the same situation.

It's fair enough. Thanks for this, what about Elohim appearing to Abraham in the human flesh as in Genesis 18? How is this possible? And if it was not YHWH, then who was it and why did this person have the Name?
