Then the Lord came down in a cloud and stood there with him; and he called out His own name, Yahweh. The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty.
