In our texts of Rashi: “Them,” which refers to all three patriarchs, and so it is mentioned further on. and in all cases I said to him, I am Hashem Almighty . 5 Genesis 17:4 (to Abraham), 35:11 (to Jacob). BUT BY MY NAME, THE ETERNAL, WAS I NOT KNOWN UNTO THEM.” It was not written here, [“But My Name, the Eternal], I did not make known to them.” Rather, it is written, [ But by My Name, the Eternal ], was I not known unto them , meaning: “I was not recognized by them in My attribute of keeping faith, by reason of which My Name is called Eternal, which denotes that I am certain to fulfill the words [of My promise]. Indeed I made promises to the patriarchs 4 “Him”: Abraha
