For I will proclaim the name of the LORD.
This phrase is part of the Song of Moses, a poetic passage delivered by Moses to the Israelites before his death. The proclamation of the LORD's name signifies declaring His character and attributes. In ancient Near Eastern culture, a name was more than a label; it represented the essence and authority of a person. Here, Moses emphasizes the importance of acknowledging God's sovereignty and holiness. The name of the LORD (YHWH) is central to Israel's identity and covenant relationship with God, as seen inExodus 3:14-15, where God reveals His name to Moses. This proclamation is a call to worship and recognize God's unique position as the one true God, distinct from the idols of surrounding nations.

Ascribe greatness to our God!
This call to ascribe greatness is an invitation to recognize and declare God's supreme power and majesty. In the context of Deuteronomy, Moses is urging the Israelites to remember God's mighty acts, such as the deliverance from Egypt and the provision in the wilderness. The term "greatness" encompasses God's omnipotence, faithfulness, and righteousness. This exhortation is echoed in other scriptures, such asPsalm 29:1-2 and1 Chronicles 16:28-29, where believers are encouraged to give God the glory due His name. Theologically, this phrase points to the ultimate greatness of God revealed in Jesus Christ, who embodies the fullness of God's nature (Colossians 1:19). Moses' call to ascribe greatness is a timeless reminder for believers to honor God in all aspects of life, acknowledging His rightful place as Lord over all creation.

Moses begins the Song ofDeuteronomy 32 by declaring his intent to make God’s name known. In Scripture, a name represents character, reputation, and revealed identity. By saying, “I will proclaim,” Moses commits to speak openly, not whisper or hide.

• Proclamation is public: compare how David “proclaimed righteousness in the great assembly” (Psalm 40:9–10).

• Proclamation is continual: the psalmist resolves, “I will bless the LORD at all times” (Psalm 34:1).

• Proclamation is missional: Israel’s testimony invited surrounding nations to know the one true God, much like the church is charged to “proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you” (1 Peter 2:9).

Moses’ words remind us that knowing God personally leads naturally to making Him known publicly (Exodus 34:5–7 shows the LORD Himself proclaiming His own name; Moses follows that pattern here).

Ascribe greatness to our God!

Having announced his intention, Moses calls the people to respond. “Ascribe” means to recognize and attribute what is already true: the infinite greatness of God.

• Greatness acknowledged: other worshipers echo this—“Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name” (Psalm 29:2).

• Greatness unmatched: “Who is like You—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory?” (Exodus 15:11).

• Greatness experienced: Joshua witnessed God’s greatness when the Jordan parted (Joshua 4:23–24); we see it supremely in Christ, “the radiance of God’s glory” (Hebrews 1:3).

By urging Israel to ascribe greatness, Moses teaches that worship is both vertical and communal. No one stands silent while others praise; the whole covenant community lifts one voice (Psalm 34:3).

summary

Deuteronomy 32:3 shows Moses modeling and commanding worship. He personally proclaims God’s revealed name, then invites everyone to join in attributing to God the greatness that is inherently His. The verse calls every believer to a life of public testimony and wholehearted praise, grounded in the certainty that the LORD alone is supremely great, yesterday, today, and forever.

(3)--"For (or when) it is the Name JEHOVAH that I utter; Give ye greatness to our God."

Verse 3. -I will publish the name of the Lord; literally,I will call,i.e.proclaim, orcelebrate, etc.Ascribe ye greatness unto our God. The hearers of the song are summoned to join in the celebration of the Divine majesty. The word rendered" greatness" occurs only in this book (Deuteronomy 3:24;Deuteronomy 5:21;Deuteronomy 9:26;Deuteronomy 11:2), and inPsalm 150:2. It is the greatness of God as the Almighty that is here celebrated.
