A passage supporting the Old Testament Trinity

Exodus 3:6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
        Here we see personal distinctions in the Godhead. Why is up to, but only three persons mentioned? Abraham was given a covenant. It was confirm to His son and grandson Isaac and Jacob. It is one covenant with 3 persons, Abraham is the father of many nations a type of the Father. Isaac is a son miraculously born set up to be a sacrifice, Jacob is the Son who grapples and fights for the blessing. All three men are incomplete; yet completed by God. The father is faithful and does not fail his family as abraham did in the case of Ishmael. Christ is miraculously born and goes ahead with being sacrificed as the propitiation for sin. The Holy Spirit obtains the blessings of eternal life, though jacob died in egypt. 3 persons of one godhead.
