# I AM WHO I AM

This description shows that God can only be defined by himself, not by anything else that we know of, and he cannot be compared to anyone else.

# Tell them, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’

This is a quotation within a quotation. The entire quotation can be restated so that this portion is an indirect quotation: “Tell them that I AM has sent you to them.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotesinquotes]])

# I AM

This name emphasizes that God is the only one who has always lived and always will live. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown]])

# Also tell them, ‘I am Yahweh, the God of your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’

This is a quotation within a quotation. The entire quotation can be restated so that this portion is an indirect quotation: “Also tell them that I am Yahweh, the God of your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotesinquotes]])

# Yahweh
