The proclamation of the LORD's name signifies declaring His character and attributes. In ancient Near Eastern culture, a name was more than a label; it represented the essence and authority of a person. Here, Moses emphasizes the importance of acknowledging God's sovereignty and holiness. The name of the LORD (YHWH) is central to Israel's identity and covenant relationship with God, as seen in <a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14-15</a>, where God reveals His name to Moses. This proclamation is a call to worship and recognize God's unique position as the one true God, distinct from the idols of surrounding nations.<p><b>Ascribe greatness to our God!</b><br>This call to ascribe greatness is an invitation to recognize and declare God's supreme power and majesty. In the context of Deuteronomy, Moses is urging the Israelites to remember God's mighty acts, such as the deliverance from Egypt and the provision in the wilderness. The term "greatness" encompasses God's omnipotence, faithfulness, and righteousness. This exhortation is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/psalms/29.htm">Psalm 29:1-2</a> and <a href="/1_chronicles/16-28.htm">1 Chronicles 16:28-29</a>, where believers are encouraged to give God the glory due His name. Theologically, this phrase points to the ultimate greatness of God revealed in Jesus Christ, who embodies the fullness of God's nature (<a href="/colossians/1-19.htm">Colossians 1:19</a>). Moses' call to ascribe greatness is a timeless reminder for believers to honor God in all aspects of life, acknowledging His rightful place as Lord over all creation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The speaker of this verse, Moses is delivering a song to the Israelites as part of his final words before his death.
