6:2 God spoke ¹  to Moses and said to him, “I am the Lord. ² 

Yosua 7:9

7:9 When the Canaanites and all who live in the land hear about this, they will turn against us and destroy the very memory of us ³  from the earth. What will you do to protect your great reputation?” ⁴ 

[6:2]  ¹ tn Heb “And God spoke.”

[6:2]  ² sn The announcement “I am the Lord” (Heb “Yahweh”) draws in the preceding revelation in Exod 3:15. In that place God called Moses to this task and explained the significance of the name “Yahweh” by the enigmatic expression “I am that I am.” “I am” (אֶהְיֶה, ’ehyeh) is not a name; “Yahweh” is. But the explanation of the name with this sentence indicates that Yahweh is the one who is always there, and that guarantees the future, for everything he does is consistent with his nature. He is eternal, never changing; he remains. Now, in Exodus 6, the meaning of the name “Yahweh” will be more fully unfolded.

[7:9]  ³ tn Heb “and cut off our name.”

[7:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “What will you do for your great name?”
