" 13 Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"
14 God said to Moses, "I am who I am . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' "
15 God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation." - Exodus 3
god, by nature, cannot be bound to anything we can understand as humans. no adjectives, no labels, no names. even the name "God" is just a metonymy for the actual being. yet he gives us this metonymy to reference all that he is: I AM. I AM WHO I AM.
god, you are so huge. you are above anything we try to put to you. you only are what you are. we cant ever understand you, yet you give us glimpses of what you are. we cant even understand your name, yet you give us a name for you which we can grasp.
