Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - The Lord God. In the original Jehovah elokey - "Jehovah, God of your fathers," etc. The name is clearly an equivalent of the "I AM" in the preceding versa The exact mode of its formation from the old root hava, "to be," is still disputed among the best Hebraists. This is my name for ever. Henceforth there will be no change - this will be my most appropriate name so long as the world endures - "The Existent" - "The Alone Existent" - "He that is, and was, and is to come" (Revelation 1:4, 8; Revelation 4:8; Revelation 11:17; Revelation 16:5). My memorial. The name whereby I am to be spoken of.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) The Lord God of your fathers.--Heb., Jehovah, God of your fathers. The "I AM" of the preceding verse ('ehyeh) is modified here into Jahveh, or Jehovah, by a substitution of the third person for the first. The meaning of the name remains the same.This is my name for ever.--Jehovah is the pre. dominant name of God throughout the rest of the Old Testament. (On the meaning of the name see Note on Genesis 2:4.) Rendered by the LXX. ??????, ["Lord"] the name appears under that form everywhere throughout the Authorised Version printed in capitals. It does not occur in the New Testament, since "Lord" takes its place. An equivalent of the name occurs, however, frequently in the Revelation of St. John, where God appears as "He which is, and which was, and which is to come" (Revelation 1:4; Revelation 1:8; Revelation 4:8; Revelation 11:17; Revelation 16:5). Necessary, self-sustained, independent, eternal existence, must always be of his essence. . . .
