God is Jehovah Elohim. Exod. 6.2. And Elohim spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am Jehovah: and I appeared unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known unto them. Exod. 3.13. If they say unto me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them? And God answered Moses, I am that I am: Also he said, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I am hath sent me unto you. And God spake further to Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah Elohim, &c. hath sent me unto you.
