Exodus 3:6

6. The God of thy father Whose name thy father and mother taught thee; and the God of their fathers of the sacred patriarchal line who remembers his covenant with them . But Jesus shows us (Matthew 22:32, where see note) that the words were deeper still, revealing to Moses not only that He lived, but that they lived as sharers in this everlasting covenant, and were looking for its fulfilment. A covenant with Jehovah implies, connotes, or includes, immortality. Moses had waited long. Now his father’s God speaks to him in a tongue of flame; calls him by his name, yet warns him not to draw nigh; brings before him those waiting fathers a “cloud of witnesses!” What wonder that he hid his face from the blaze of such a revelation!
