14And God said to Moses, “1 2I AM WHO 3I AM”; and He said, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘4I AM has sent me to you.’”

15God furthermore said to Moses, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘5The 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 this is the 6 7name for 8all generations to use to call upon Me.
