| Summary |
The obvious riddles and difficulties in Exod 3:13-15 and Exod 6:2-8 have attracted an overwhelming amount of attention and comment. These texts make important theological statements about the divine name YHWH and the contours of the divine character. From the enigmatic statements in Exod 3:13-15, most scholars reconstruct the original form of the name as "Yahweh," which is thought to describe YHWH's creative power or self-existence. Similarly, Exod 6:3 has become a classic proof-text for the Documentary Hypothesis and an indication of different aspects of God's character as shown in history. D. |
