Ibn Ezra on Exodus 33:19/אבן עזרא על שמות ל״ג:י״ט

אעד עברי באברהם כתיב ויקרא בשם ד' (ברא' יב ח) ובני אדם הם הנקראים לעבוד השם, על כן מלת בשם דבקה עם השם הנכבד ואין ככה ויקרא בשם ד' (למטה לד ה) כי השם הוא הקורא וככה וקראתי בשם ד' לפניך (למעלה פ' יט):

1AND WILL PROCLAIM THE NAME OF THE LORD. Scripture writes with regard to Abraham, and (he) called upon the name (be-shem) of the Lord (Gen. 12:8).⁴⁹. People were the ones who were called upon to serve the Lord.⁵⁰ The word be-shem (upon the name) is therefore connected⁵¹ to God’s glorious name. However, this is not the case with and proclaimed the name of the Lord (Ex. 34:5),⁵². Here the word ve-shem (the name) is not connected by a cantillical note to Adonai (the Lord). In fact, the cantillical notes connect it to va-yikra. for here the Lord is the one who calls.⁵³ It is the same case with and will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee.⁵⁴ is connected to Adonai.
