“Moses said to God: Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and say to them: The God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they say to me: What is His name? What shall I say to them?” (Exodus 3:13). “Moses said to God: Behold, when I come…” – Rabbi Shimon of Lod said in the name of Rabbi Simon in the name of Reish Lakish: Moses said: I am destined to become an intermediary between You and them when You give them the Torah and say to them: “I am the Lord your God” (Exodus 20:2). “The God of your fathers has sent me to you” – at that moment, Moses was clarifying his undertaking, as he feared if they asked him “what is His name” what would he say to them? At that moment, Moses requested that the Holy One blessed be He make known to him His great name.
