BrLXX Καὶ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα, πατάξω τοὺς Αἰγυπτίους ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς θαυμασίοις μου, οἷς ποιήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐξαποστελεῖ ὑμᾶς.
(Kai ekteinas taʸn ⱪeira, pataxō tous Aiguptious en pasi tois thaumasiois mou, hois poiaʸsō en autois; kai meta tauta exapostelei humas. )
3:13-22 Moses’ second protest was that he had inadequate knowledge. He did not know God’s name. This might mean that God’s personal name had not yet been revealed (see study notes on 6:2-3). It is also possible that Moses meant he did not know the secret, magic formula that a man of power might have been expected to make use of. Interest in such things was common in the ancient Near East. God’s direct response is almost a riddle, but the majority of his answer is a statement of his faithfulness in the past and a demonstration of his knowledge of the future. There is nothing magical about the name Yahweh. Knowledge of secret formulas and magic powers is not the issue; the issue is the character of God and his lordship of history. The reason there is “something about that name” is because of the incomparable character and nature of the one who bears it.
