Question... if Abraham did not know His Name, how did he pray with it?
Genesis 12:8, "And he went from there to the hill east of Beth El, and he pitched his tent there; Beth El was to the west of him, and Ai was to the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh,
and there he prayed with the Name of Yahweh."
Because of a mistranslation:
Exodus 6:3, "I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Yaaqob as Yl Shaddai, but by MY NAME YAHWEH, was I not known to them?"
was I not known to them
or
I was not know to them
There are 43 (If I remember right) negative affirmations, and every one I know of is translated correctly...except this one. Now I understand this is new, but if you disagree how can you explain Abraham praying with a Name he did not know?
