Why this verse
The verse where God finally does give a name. The one Jesus claimed in John 8:58 ("Before Abraham was, I AM") — for which the Pharisees tried to stone Him for blasphemy. Where Jacob's wrestler refused to speak His name, Moses on Horeb is told it outright — and inside the answer the letters spell seven more specific titles He would later claim.
