Exodus 3:15

“And God said moreover unto Moses, etc.] As a further explanation of the above name, and of the design and use of it: thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: for their further instruction in the said name, and for the confirmation of the mission of Moses, and the success of it: the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; he who is Jehovah, and the covenant God of the ancestors of the people of Israel, and of them, so he is called, (<210306>Ecclesiastes 3:6) this [is] my name for ever: meaning either “Ehjeh, I am”, in the preceding verse, or, which is the same, Jehovah in this, and so both of them, and including also…”

“The Lord God ... - Better, Jehovah יהוה yehovâh, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. It corresponds exactly to the preceding verse, the words “I am” and “Jehovah” (Yahweh) being equivalent. This name met all the requirements of Moses, involving a two-fold pledge of accomplishment; the pledges of ancient benefits and of a new manifestation. Name ... memorial - The name signifies that by which God makes Himself known, the memorial that by which His people worship Him. return to 'Top of Page'”

“The Lord God of our fathers hath sent me unto you - Thus God made himself known, that he might revive among them the religion of their fathers, which was much decayed, and almost lost. And that he might raise their expectations of the speedy performance of the promises made unto their fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are particularly named, because with Abraham the covenant was first made, and with Isaac and Jacob oft expressly renewed, and these three were distinguished from their brethren, and chosen to be the trustees of the covenant. This God will have to be his name for ever, and it has been, is, and will be his name, by which his worshippers know him, and distinguish him from all…”

“3:15 Yahweh is probably a form of the Hebrew verb “to be,” so it could mean “he causes to be,” or “he who is,” or “I am.” Later Jews were not permitted to speak God’s name aloud, so the Hebrew text supplies the vowels from the word ’adonay (which means “lord” or “master”) whenever God’s proper name, YHWH, appears. In oral reading, the Hebrew reader would pronounce ’adonay, even though the written text is YHWH. We do not know the pronunciation of the divine name. The widely used Yahweh is an informed guess. The English word “Jehovah” is an artificial term made by combining the vowels of ’adonay with the consonants Y-H-W-H. In the NLT, this name is usually translated “Lord” (with small…”

“The Lord: Exo 3:6, Exo 4:5; Gen 17:7, Gen 17:8; Deu 1:11, Deu 1:35, Deu 4:1; Ch2 28:9; Mat 22:32; Act 7:32 this is my name for ever: The name here referred to is that which immediately precedes, יהוה, \[Strong's H3068\], Yehowah, which we translate "Lord", the name by which God had been known from the creation of the world ( Gen 2:2), and by which he is known to the present day. יהוה, Yehowah, from הוה, hawah, to be, subsist, signifies "He who is", or "subsists", i.e., eminently and in a manner superior to all other beings; and is essentially the same with אהיה, eheyeh, "I AM", in the preceding verse. Psa 72:17, Psa 72:19, Psa 135:13, Psa 145:1, Psa 145:2; Isa 9:6, Isa 63:12 my memorial: Psa…”
