Verse 3

God Almighty: El shadday, God Almighty; for shadday is evidently of affinity with the Arabic shadid, strong, mighty, and shiddat, strength, might; so the LXX in Job render it נבםפןךסבפשס, Vulgate, in Pentateuch, Omnipotens, and Syriac, in Job, chasino. Genesis 17:1, Genesis 28:3, Genesis 35:11, Genesis 48:3

but by my name: If Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, did not know the name Jehovah, then Moses must have used it in Genesis by prolepsis, or anticipation. Mr. Locke and others read it interrogatively, for the negative particle, lo, not, has frequently this power in Hebrew: "I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, and by my name Jehovah was I not also made known unto them?"

Jehovah: Exodus 3:14, Genesis 12:7, Genesis 12:8, Genesis 13:18, Genesis 22:14, Psalms 68:4, JAH, Psalms 83:18, Isaiah 42:8, Isaiah 44:6, Isaiah 52:5, Isaiah 52:6, John 8:58, Revelation 1:4

Reciprocal: Exodus 15:3 - name Numbers 6:27 - put my Deuteronomy 9:27 - Remember Deuteronomy 28:58 - fear this glorious Deuteronomy 32:3 - Because Proverbs 18:10 - name Proverbs 30:4 - what is his name Jeremiah 33:2 - the Lord Revelation 1:8 - the Almighty
