The focus of this reading is that God is presented as speaking of his will, wish, and/or desire with regard to who he is. As a response to the Mosaic question "What shall I say to them when they ask, 'What is his name?'" this opens new possibilities for the exegesis of this verse as well as for the meaning of the Tetragrammaton. |
