Commentary on Exodus 6:3
God's statement 'I appeared... by the name of God Almighty' (אֵל שַׁדַּי, El Shaddai) but 'by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them' indicates the patriarchs didn't experience YHWH's full meaning—covenant faithfulness demonstrated through redemption. Names in Hebrew thought communicate nature and character, not mere labels.
