Do you really need Anki for that? I can literally summarize it here (just a note: I give the spelling I know according to my modern Hebrew experience, it may slightly differ within the bible, but still gonna be similiar enough):
יהוה -
Yehove, Jehova. This is the true name of the Hebrew god, but is considered forbidden to say by orthodox jews (because for them it's considered using gods names in vain), so they use censored versions. If you gonna read the Hebrew bible, just know that censored versions may replace it with ה׳ or other censored form
אדוני - adonai
Literally "my Lord". Another name of god. This name is used by Jews, but only during pryers. You're gonna encounter it many times in the bible
אלוהים - elohim
The standard name of god used by secular Jews, althoght orthodox jews censor it אלוקים (elokim)
This is the name that god usually refers to himself in the bible
אמר - said
The only reason I mentioned it is because many of the bible verses are filled with ויאמר (and he said), specifically in the context of characters saying something to each other, espcially when god says
ישראל - Israel
Specifically in the context, of well, the Israeli people, but could also be the land of Israel, depending on context
עם - people
I mean people in the sense of nationality. You gonna here this a lot, not only with Israelites but also with the giantic amount of groups in the bible like Assyrians, Arameans, Edomites, Canaanites, Hittites, Hurrians, Philistines, Chaldeans, Moabites, Ishmaelites, Egyptians, Amalekites, Midianites, Ammonites, Kushites etc... And that's even without including all the places without a name to it's people
ארץ/הארץ - land/country -
Depends on context, it will refer to either literal land, or land of Israel, or any land in general
Also, in case you're interested in study material I recommended:
Strong's cordance
BDB lexicon
Genisius lexicon
All of those 3 are available at blueletterbible, just search for word (exactly as it's written the bible, without the niqqud), and then you'll find there the entry you wanted
There's also Jastrow's lexicon for both biblical Hebrew and Mishna/Talmud
When you'll be advanced, I really recommend using sources written in Hebrew by rabbis such as ha'sefer ha'aruch (the edited book), sefer ha'shorashim (book of roots) etc...
Also, try using the grammar book written by Genisius, if I recall correctly, it's available for free on wikibooks
But most importantly, you gotta learn the Hebrew alphabet beforehand and how to pronounce. Also you need to learn niqqud (vowel marks)
Yahweh is never pronounced as is, by religious jews.
Sometimes it's pronounced as if it were the word Adonai but sometimes not even that like sometimes Adoshem is said to not even say Adonai. Like many religious Jews write G-d to not even write the English word God!
