How does God reveal himself?

Exode 3:6 (NEG79)

6 Et il ajouta: Je suis le Dieu de ton père, le Dieu d'Abraham, le Dieu d'Isaac et le Dieu de Jacob. Moïse se cacha le visage, car il craignait de regarder Dieu.

God reveals himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He remembers his covenant (Exodus 2:24). That means he comes in action to do what he has promised: freedom from slavery in Egypt and the possession of the land Canaan (Genesis 15:14, Genesis 15:18). He is not a foreign God but the God of Israel (see also Exodus 3:15).
