Ex. 6:2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD {H3068}: 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH {H3068} was I not known to them.
H1961 hayah, haw-yaw; a primitive root (compare 1933); to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary): — beacon, X altogether, be(-come), accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (one-) self, require, X use.
H3068 Yhovah, yeh-ho-vaw'; from {H1961}; (the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God: — Jehovah, the Lord. Compare 3050, 3069. (from Strong’s)
“I AM THAT I AM” and “JEHOVAH” have almost the exact same meaning!
In the NT. the LORD (capitalized) is usually referring to Jesus!
