The Name of God

God has identified himself by many names, but,
this one is the ultimate. He identifies himself to
Moses, in the Book of Exodus :

Exd 20:5


Thou shalt not bow down thyself
to them, nor serve them: for I the
LORD thy God [am] a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children unto the third
and fourth [generation] of them
that hate me;
Exd 20:6
And shewing mercy unto thousands
of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.

I the LORD



thy God



[am] a jealous



God,



visiting



the iniquity



of the fathers



upon the children



unto the third



and fourth



[generation] of them that hate



And shewing
mercy
unto thousands
of them that love
me, and keep
my commandments.
