7192. 'And said to him, I am Jehovah' means confirmation from the Divine, which is unchangeable. This becomes clear without explanation, for there is none other than Himself through whom Jehovah, that is, the Lord, can confirm something. He cannot do so through heaven because it is a long way beneath Him; still less can He do so through anything in the world. Rather, if Divine confirmation, which is eternal and unchangeable, is to be provided, it must come from the Divine Himself. One often reads this kind of confirmation - I am Jehovah - in Moses, such as in Exodus 12:12; Leviticus 18:5-6; 19:12, 14, 18, 28, 30, 32, 37; 20:8; 21:12; 22:2-3, 8, 30-31, 33; 26:2, 45; Numbers 3:13, 41, 45. And in the Prophets one reads Jehovah said, ¹ which is used in a similar way to mean confirmation from the Divine, as in Isaiah 3:15; 14:22-23; 17:6; 22:14, 25; 43:12; 52:5; Jeremiah 2:22; 3:1, 10, 13, 20; 8:12; 12:17; 13:25; 15:6, 20; 16:16; 23:7, 24, 29, 31; and many times elsewhere. Confirmation from the Divine is also provided through the Divine Human, thus also through the Lord Himself; in Isaiah, Jehovah has sworn by His right hand, and by His mighty arm. Isaiah 62:8.
