BY MY NAME THE LORD I DID NOT MAKE MYSELF KNOW TO THEM / EXODUS 6:3

(KJV) Exodus 6:3

And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.

God did not make Himself known to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by the name “LORD” (Hebrew Yahweh, Genesis 2:4).

1. This does not mean that these forefathers of faith were not acquainted with the name, but only that God did not reveal the full implication, or meaning, of the character and power of that name (Exodus 3:14). The names used for God always reflect something about His character and power. They had heard and used the name Yahweh, but they more often referred to Him as “God Almighty,” a name that emphasizes His power to fulfill anything He has promised (Genesis 17:1). 
2. Yahweh is God’s covenant-keeping name, which focuses on how He rescues people and brings them back into a personal relationship with God (Exodus 6:6). Abraham did not live to see the covenant of Genesis 15 fulfilled, but he did experience God’s power.
