The name Yahweh is sacred in the Hebrew religion. It is the personal name of God, which he revealed to Moses. It is by this name, he is known. Yahweh means "I am". Some translations use all capitals to set this apart, "I AM". Great care must be taken in translating the phrase "I am that I am". This chapter records one of the most important events in the history of the Israelite people: the revelation of the name Yahweh at the burning bush.
