Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord. God comes down and stands with Moses — the same posture of divine presence as the original Sinai encounter. The proclamation of the divine name follows the descent: God announces Himself before announcing His character. The name YHWH — first revealed at the burning bush, proclaimed at Sinai, now proclaimed again — is the basis of all that follows. Philippians 2:9–10 says God exalted Jesus to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name — the name proclaimed here is the name that stands above all others.
