The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a Yearنموونە

Week 3. Day 2. Exodus 3-6.

Ex 3 The Burning Bush. What does God reveal about:

• Who he is?
• What he will do?

When Moses asks God who he is, God describes himself as‘I AM WHO I AM’, ‘I AM’ and ‘THE LORD’. The word rendered in English ‘THE LORD’ is the Hebrew word ‘Yahweh’, which is very closely related to the word ‘I AM’. In English translations when you see ‘THE LORD’ (in small capitals) this is the divine name ‘Yahweh’, as explained here, and further expanded in 6:2-8.

5:2 ‘Who is the LORD?’ – this is the key question that the narrative in Ex 1-12 is answering.

6:2-8 This passage is ‘bookended’ by the phrase ‘I am the LORD’ What aspects of the Lord and his character are here associated with the name Yahweh/the LORD?

NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.
