And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation].The LORD proclaimed His name to Moses. This is how the Lord wants to be known to His people. The ordering of His attributes may contain some significance. This is how I should experience the Lord as well.
The LORD.
The LORD God.
He is merciful and gracious.
He is long-suffering.
He is abundant in goodness and truth.
He keeps mercy for thousands.
He forgives iniquity, transgression and sin.
He is however just and holy God, who deals with sin completely, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children.
