The Hidden Name Revealed to Moses Alone

Yalkut Shimoni on Torah 176:8

Another interpretation: "And I appeared to Abraham" and so forth, "but by My name the LORD I did not make Myself known to them" (Exodus 6:3). I did not explain to them whether it is the Explicit Name, but to you I have disclosed it, since you are going to redeem Israel, so that you may succeed. The Holy One, blessed be He, said: In this world I disclosed My name to individuals, but in the world to come I will make My name known to all Israel, as it is said, "Therefore My people shall know My name" (Isaiah 52:6).
