Exodus Chapter 3, Verse 15
From BibleWiki
15: And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me
unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial
unto all generations.
15: And God said again to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the sons of Israel, The Lord God of our fathers, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and my memorial to generations of generations.
To establish them in this confidence, God added still further: "This is My name for ever, and My memorial unto all generations;" that is to say, God would even manifest Himself in the nature expressed by the name Jehovah, and by this He would have all generations both know and revere Him. שׁם, the name, expresses the objective manifestation of the divine nature; זבר, memorial, the subjective recognition of that nature on the part of men. דּר דּר, as in Ex 17:16 and Prov 27:24. The repetition of the same word suggests the idea of uninterrupted continuance and boundless duration (Ewald, §313a). The more usual expression is ודר ידר, Deut 32:7; Ps 106; Ps 3311; or דּרים דּר, Ps 725; Ps 10225; Isa 51:8.
