Seems like they interpret the phrase as "I cannot define myself in a way that you will comprehend, so all I can say is that I will be what I will be." Is this an agreed-upon interpretation by most scholars on the subject, or is there plenty of debate?
Gib,
You're welcome!
Were you able to hear the part where they go over the similarities between the Hebrew word used in Exodus 3:14 that is also used 2 verses prior in verse 12? That may be a link to a powerful hidden message of "the name". That G-d was there for us then and will be there for us always.
As for your question, I would say that may be one of the most agreed upon interpretations, but as is with Judaism, there is always debate!!
Doesn't discount one or the other, just provides food for thought.
