3. JEHOVAH:
This is the
distinctive covenant and redemptive name for God in the Old Testament. There is
a problem associated with the revelation of this name which appears in Exodus 6:2,3. “And God spake unto Moses, and said unto
him, I am the LORD (Jehovah): and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto
Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not
known unto them.” And yet the name Jehovah appears before this in Genesis some
150 times. This seeming contradiction has been explained in various ways. Some
think that while this name was used earlier its meaning was not revealed until
it was made known unto Moses. Others think that when Moses wrote the Genesis
account he used this name for God, although up until his time no one had known
or used it.
