I am the God of Abraham and Isaac; assuring him, that as he dealt faithfully in his Covenant with his Fathers Abraham and Isaac, so also he would deal with him. And Gen. 31. 13. I am the God of Bethel; he who appeared unto thee there, and blessed thee, and will continue so to do. But when the same Jacob comes to ask after another name of God, ⟨p. 198⟩he answers him not, as it were commanding him to live by faith, on what he was pleased to reveal. Now then God had not made himself known to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob by his name Jehovah, because he had not peculiarly called himself unto them by that name; nor had engaged it in his Covenant with them, although it were otherwise known unto them. They lived and rested on the name of God Almighty, as suited to their supportment and consolation in their wandering helpless condition, before the Promise was to be accomplished.
