It follows the previous chapter where Moses expressed doubt and frustration about his mission to free the Israelites. This context highlights God's ongoing communication and reassurance to Moses. The use of "also" suggests that God is providing additional information or clarification, emphasizing the importance of what is to follow.<p><b>“I am the LORD.”</b><br>This declaration is a reaffirmation of God's identity and authority. The name "LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "YHWH," often vocalized as Yahweh, which is the personal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (<a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14</a>). This name signifies God's eternal existence and unchanging nature. It is a reminder of God's covenant with the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and His faithfulness to fulfill His promises. The statement "I am the LORD" serves as a powerful assertion of divine sovereignty and a call for trust in God's plan. It also foreshadows the deliverance and redemption that God will accomplish, which is a type of the ultimate redemption through Jesus Christ, who is also identified as the "I AM" in <a href="/john/8-58.htm">John 8:58</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The self-existent, eternal God who reveals Himself to Moses.
