Moses was the one who was called to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. It was very important that they did not forget the G-d of their fathers. Note what Yahuwah said to Moses: "And G-d said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD G-d [Yahuwah Elohim] of your fathers, the G-d of Abraham, the G-d of Isaac, and the G-d of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. (Exodus 3:15)
- G-d of Abraham
- G-d of Isaac
- G-d of Jacob
- Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD G-d [Yahuwah Elohim] of your fathers, the G-d of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt: (Exodus 3:16)
- And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD G-d [Yahuwah Elohim] of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our G-d [Yahuwah our Elohim]. (Exodus 3:18)
