- Mosesמֹשֶׁהmoshe
Moses
Moses, the man God called to bring Israel out of Egypt and through whom he gave the Law. His name sounds like "draw out" (Exodus 2:10).
Where else “moshe” appears- and Aaronאַהֲרֹןaharon
Aaron
Aaron, the older brother of Moses, his spokesman before Pharaoh and the first high priest of Israel.
Where else “aharon” appears- did soיַּעַשׂyaas
carry out
To do what is commanded.
Where else “yaas” appears- YHWHיְהוָהyehva
YHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.
Where else “yehva” appears- commandedצִוָּהtsiva
command
To give an order: "as YHWH had commanded".
Where else “tsiva” appears
The context
5And the Egyptians will know that I am YHWH, when I stretch out my hand over Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst.”
