Verse 27

27. They shall put my name The name of a man is the medium in which his personality floats from mind to mind. But the name of Jehovah, when thus invoked upon obedient Israel, signified more than that: it conveyed, in a measure, the attributes for which that name stands. Hence to ask in the name of Christ is to lay hold of his living and omnipresent personality as substantive and real. Professor Bush suggests that the blessing in the name of Jehovah is putting his name upon Israel. He thus translates the words, “And thus shall ye put my name,” etc. In John 17:12, Jesus says, “I kept them in thy name,” probably referring to the priestly benediction.
