The Names of Elohim

Here are some Bible texts that quote the names of Elohim.
..................................................
Elohim’s Name Given to Moses

¶ And Moses said to Elohim, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt? 12 And Elohim said to him, I will be with you; and this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship Elohim upon this mountain. 13 And Moses said to Elohim, Look, when I go to the children of Israel and say to them, The Elohim of your fathers has sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say to them? 14 And Elohim said to Moses, I am Ehyeh Asher Ehyer (that is, I am/will be what I am/will be); and he said, This is what you shall say to the children of Israel: Ehyer has sent me to you. 15 And Elohim said moreover to Moses, This is what you shall say to the children of Israel: Yahweh Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, has sent me to you; this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
Exodus 3:11-15.

And Elohim spoke to Moses and said to him, I am Yahweh 03 Who appeared to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob, by the name of El Shaddai; but my name Yahweh I did not make known to them.
Exodus 6:2-3

Note: The Bible used here is a new translation of the Holy Scriptures which I am constructing for my own study needs, and is based on many bibles and bible aids in my private collection and those available in the Internet, including especially, The Words of Yahweh, The Kolenburger Interlinear English/Hebrew Old Testament, The Jerusalem Bible, the Complete Jewish Bible, the George Lamsa Bible and other work like those of Andrew Gabriel Roth. There are no explanations from me, I leave the Scriptures to transmit the messages about the names of our Almighty Elohim.
