Exodus 6:2 And Elohim spoke to Moses and said to him, I am יהוה: 3 And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob, by the name of El Shaddai, but by My name יהוה I was not known to them. C-MATS
Question: What was יהוה saying to Moses? יהוה rebuked Moses harshly: Many times I revealed Myself to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and they did not question My ways, nor did they say to me, “What is Your name?” You questioned My ways and asked from the start, “What is Your name?” and now you are saying to Me, “You have not saved Your people!” unlike Abraham, to whom I said, “Isaac will be considered your seed” and then I said to him, “Raise him up to Me as an offering” — still, he did not question Me.” The Patriarchs only knew Me by El Shaddai (sufficient), you know Me by יהוה and yet you question Me. The Patriarchs never saw miracles and yet they had faith in Me. Moses would soon witness miracles of a magnitude that dwarfed anything the Patriarchs had ever seen. Chumash
Question: What was יהוה promising his people? The four expressions of redemption relate to the four aspects of our liberation from Egypt:
1) I will bring אֶתְכֶם you out — our physical removal from the geographical boundaries of Egypt
2) I will take אֶתְכֶם you out of their bondage — our delivery from Egyptian supremacy (Egypt was a superpower that enslaved and oppressed many nations and peoples outside its borders)
3) I will redeem אֶתְכֶם you — the elimination of any future possibility of enslavement by the “great judgments” inflicted upon the Egyptians
4) I will take אֶתְכֶם you to Me for a people and I will be to you an Elohim — our election as יהוה‘s chosen people at Mount Sinai and the gift of Torah, the purpose of the Exodus. Chumash
Exodus 6:9 And Moses spoke this to the Children of Israel: but they did not listen to Moses because of their anguish of spirit and cruel bondage. C-MATS
