thank you.

Answer 1

I don't have my hebrew bible on me right now, but it is most likely a form of the verb 'hayah.'

The Greek word for I am is 'eimi' pronounced like the name 'amy' with a long 'a.'

Interestingly, in the N.T., it often happens that when Jesus announces, "It is I," that he is actually saying "I am." The nuance is often lost in English unfortunately, but it appears that the evangelists who wrote the Bible were making quite a statement about Jesus' identity. Whether one believes it or not is another thing entirely, but it does appear that they do equate Jesus with the divine.

Answer 2

In Exodus 3:14 he ment that Mosses hadn't seen his power yet.
Before the ten plagues and the red sea parting. Jehovah
John 8:58 Jesus said to them before Abraham came into existance I have been. Col 1:15 he was God's first creation and was created long before the earth or the Universe. Rev 3:14
Stephen saw the heavens opened up and there was Jesus sitting at the right hand of God in heaven.

Answer 3

I don't know about the Hebrew, but the Greek is eimi. Unfortunately, I don't have Greek fonts, so that is the transliterated version.

Answer 4

אֶהְיֶה - this is I am in hebrew directly from Exodus 3:14

sorry I think its pronounced Ye he yeah

Answer 5

אֶהְיֶה (eheyeh), as in:
אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה (exodus 3:14)

"Eheyeh asher eheyeh" (e-he-yEh a-shEr e-he-yEh)

This verb is actually in its future tense, so literally, it means: I will be whatever I will be. But the main idea is "it doesn't matter who I am".

Answer 6

That's Yahweh, God's name.

Answer 7

"GOD"
