Hebrews down in Egypt . In his writings Exodus
3 :14 and 6 :2,3 Moses tells us of this : "And God

representative knew the divine name better than
Moses did . Before setting out on his public work
of proclaiming the kingdom of God he was subjected
to three special tests while alone forty days
in the wilderness . He met the first test with these
words to the tempter : "It is written, Man must
live, not on bread alone, but on every utterance
coming forth through Jehovah's mouth .' " Meeting
the second test, he said to the tempter : "Again

written, It is Jehovah your God you must worship,
and it is to him alone you must render sacred
service .'" In each test the Son of God quoted

8 :3 ; 6 :16 ; 5 :9 ; 6 :13 .
