The puzzles and difficulties evident in Exod 3: 13-15 and Exod 6: 2-8 have attracted much attention and commentary. These texts provide important theological statements about the divine name YHWH and the lines of divine form.
In the mysterious words in Exod 3: 13-15, most scientists reconstruct the original form of the name "Yahweh", which is thought to describe the creative power of YHWH or its self-existence. Similarly, Exod 6: 3 became the text of a classic proof of the doctrinal hypothesis and an indication of the different aspects of God's personality as described in history.
Despite their apparent significance in the "definition" of the divine name, these texts are attached and preparatory to the true revelation of the divine name in Exodus. This book attempts to transcend the epistemological readings of the individual texts and the derivative studies of the divine name towards a comprehensive reading of Exodus. Sorrell revolves around his arguments about the in-depth analysis of Exod 3: 13-15, 6: 2-8, and Exod 33: 12-23 and 34: 5-8. Thus, the final declaration of the attributes of YHWH is not given in the burning bush, but in response to Moses' last paralysis (Exodus 33: 12-23).
YHWH declared his name in a manner that Israel could fit (Exodus 34: 6-7), cites the Hebrew Bible or hints at this text in many species. This indicates the centrality of Exod 34: 6-7 to the Old Testament theology.
The nature of God can not be distinguished from an analytical analysis of the word yhwh, but from a close study of the deliberate format of the gradual YHWH in the Book of Exodus.
