The official blog of Blue Letter Bible
For over a decade, Blue Letter Bible has offered a unique feature on our mobile apps: a parallel Bible version comparison where you can read two translations side by side. This gives users a quick and very effective tool for performing word and phrase studies. It also allows users to readily compare original language texts to the English translations.
13 Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” 15 Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The LORD 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 My memorial to all generations.'” (Exodus 3:13-15 NKJV)
God is everlasting; thus, it logically follows that His name would be forever as well. As highlighted in the introduction to our series on the names of God, names have importance. They are not flippant, but have meaning in whatever context they are given in. What I find so fascinating is how the name YHWH has been viewed throughout the millennia. We are going to take some time looking at how this name has been viewed historically, as well as within God’s Word.
