A Jew told me YHWH translates into I am.
When Moses asks, in response to the calling of God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" He is first given a description and told to tell the sons of Israel that "I AM the One I AM" אהיה אשר אהיה, or "I AM whatever I need to become".
What is the name of God according to the bible, and what did Jesus call Him?
