Exodus 6:2-3
I am the Lord or, Jehovah, Exod 6:6, Exod 6:8, Exod 14:18, Exod 17:1, Exod 20:2; Gen 15:7; Isa 42:8, Isa 43:11, Isa 43:15, Isa 44:6; Jer 9:24; Mal 3:6; Acts 17:24-25 God Almighty El shadday, God Almighty; for shadday is evidently of affinity with the Arabic shadid, strong, mighty, and shiddat, strength, might; so the LXX in Job render it παντοκρατωρ, Vulgate, in Pentateuch, Omnipotens, and Syriac, in Job, chasino. Gen 17:1, Gen 28:3, Gen 35:11, Gen 48:3 but by my name If Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, did not know the name Jehovah, then Moses must have used it in Genesis by prolepsis, or anticipation. Mr. Locke and others read it interrogatively, for the negative particle, lo, not, has frequently this power in Hebrew: "I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, and by my name Jehovah was I not also made known unto them?" Jehovah Exod 3:14; Gen 12:7-8, Gen 13:18, Gen 22:14; Ps 68:4, JAH, Ps 83:18; Isa 42:8, Isa 44:6, Isa 52:5-6; John 8:58; Rev 1:4
