"And God said
unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children
of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.... 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" (Exodus 3:14-15).
