1. Exodus 3:15 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What does God mean by saying “thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations”?

Exodus 3:15 (ESV)

15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘The LORD, the 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 thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.

After God has revealed who he is (I am who I am), he now gives his name by which the people have to call him: Yahweh.
