God Reveals His Name to Moses in the Old Testament:
Exodus 3:13-14 says: Then Moses said to God,
"Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I
shall say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent
me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His
name?' What shall I say to them?" And God said to
Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall
say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to
you.'" (NAS)
Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites
and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent
me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?'
Then what shall I tell them?" God said to Moses, "I
AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the
Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'" (NIV)
Then Moses said to God, "Indeed, when I come to the
children of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your
fathers has sent me to you,' and they say to me,
'What is His name?' what shall I say to them?" And
God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said,
"Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM
has sent me to you.'" (NKJ)
And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto
the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The
God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they
shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say
unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM:
and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children
of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. (ASV)
And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto
the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The
God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they
shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say
unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM:
and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children
of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. (KJV)
