Interpreting , Rabbi Jose's nephew taught that as he was dying, Jacob gave his sons three signs by which his descendants might recognize the true redeemer: (1) he would come using, as Jacob did, the word "I" (, "anoki"), (2) he would appoint elders for the people, and (3) he would say to the people, "God will remember you," as Joseph did in ). Rabbi Ḥunia omitted the word "I" (, "anoki") and substituted God's special secret name (the "Shem HaMephorash").
