Commentary on Exodus 3:15

Theological / Devotional

This is my name. From the Hebrew word translated as “I am” comes the derived form Yahweh. Yahweh is rather consistently rendered “Lord,” by the KJV, with the whole word in capital and small capital letters as it appears here. The ASV of 1901 transliterates Yahweh as “Jehovah.” To the Jews this has ever been the sacred name by which the true God is distinguished from all false gods. See pp. 172, 173.
