Exodus 3:13 Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your
fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” [14] God
said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to
you.’” [15] God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The LORD, the God of your
fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my
name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations. [16] Go and gather the
elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham,
of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have observed you and what has been done to
you in Egypt, [17] and I promise that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the
Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, a land flowing
with milk and honey.”’ [18] And they will listen to your voice, and you and the elders of Israel shall go
to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now,
please let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our
God.’ [19] But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless compelled by a mighty hand.
[20] So I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all the wonders that I will do in it; after that he
will let you go. [21] And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and when you go,
you shall not go empty, [22] but each woman shall ask of her neighbor, and any woman who lives in
her house, for silver and gold jewelry, and for clothing. You shall put them on your sons and on your
daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.”
The revelation of God’s personal name lays the foundation for believing everything He says is trustworthy.
