10562. 'And You have said, I know you by name' means his character. This is clear from the meaning of 'knowing', in reference to Jehovah, as being aware of and foreseeing from eternity, dealt with in 5309; and from the meaning of 'name' as the character or essential nature of some state, reality, or person, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3004-3011, 3421, 6674, 6887, 8274, 8882, 9310. The character of Moses is implied in the statements that follow. From this it is evident that 'I know you by name', when said by Jehovah, means being aware of and foreseeing from eternity what someone is like.
