This week the story of Moses continues. After being taken as a son by the Pharaoh's daughter, Moses commits murder and ends up running away .... then things really hot up when he meets 'I AM'
I think it is almost a way of saying "I don't need a name" because I am God. (The Hebrew can also mean "I will be who I will be") "I am" suggests to me that God just IS... it's the most basic fact about everything and everything else follows from that.
