Yes, but is it always an intellectual knowledge of a name? Can't it just be guidance, a presence? Abraham got up and followed the god who talked to him. He didn't ask for a name.
It's true that's it's not recorded that Abraham ever asked God for His name. But Moses did ... and God did not hesitate to tell Moses His name.
Further, it's quite evident that the name of JESUS figures prominently in the New Testament accounts. It is clear that there are no accounts of any New Testament believers who remained unfamiliar with the name of JESUS.
That's one school of thought. The other is that God did not so much tell Moses His Name as much as He chastised Moses for asking. It's all in the way you look at it.

I agree. Which, I guess for the sola Christian, ends the discussion. I am often puzzled why those who limit themselves to only what is revealed explicitly between the covers question those who speculate about the meaning of what is within.
It's the old "explicit bersus implicit" argument.
