The LORD God Revealed
This verse introduces God's personal name, 'Jehovah' (translated 'LORD' in all caps), alongside 'Elohim' (God). Commentators explain this is significant. 'Elohim' refers to God's transcendent power as Creator, while 'Jehovah' reveals His personal, relational, and covenant-keeping nature. The same God who created the universe is the one who personally engages with humanity.
