The Unchanging Name of God
Commentators emphasize that God's personal name, 'Jehovah' (often translated 'LORD'), reveals His essential character. It signifies that He is self-existent, eternal, and unchanging. The verse calls this His 'memorial,' meaning this is how He wants to be remembered by His people through all generations—as the faithful God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
