    Traditionally, it's been interpreted as coming from the verb meaning "he is" or "he will be" and implies God's eternal existence and unchanging nature. That nature is explained in Exodus 34:6-7 where God's gracious and forgiving nature is heavily emphasized--but at the very end it says He's not a patsy and if someone tries to take advantage of His good nature for wicked ends, he'll get it in the neck. Yahveh emphasizes God's relationship with mankind, where the other usual title--Elohim in Hebrew--emphasizes God's power.

    Yes. It's one of the names for God, transliterated from the Tetragrammaton, commonly rendered "Jehova"

    It is Yahweh, and it is an English attempt at the name of the Jewish god. YHWH, to be precise.

    The literal translation is "I Am that I Am". It comes from the verb 'to be'.

    Yahweh is a name that is given to God, and is equivalent to another name given, Jehovah.

    It means "He causes to become",-highlighting that Yahweh (or Jehovah) is the Fulfiller of promises.
    -
    He always brings his purposes to realization.
    Only the Creator could rightly bear such a name.
    -
    Yahweh "becomes" whatever is needed to fulfill his purposes.
    a mighty god of war,...
    a healer,...
    a provider,...
    a creator,...
    -
    -
    When speaking about his personal name,...
    God said to Moses, (in Hebrew):
    ’Eh‧yeh′ ’Asher′ ’Eh‧yeh′.
    -
    This has been rendered as “I AM THAT I AM.”
    -
    However, the Hebrew verb ha‧yah′, (from which the word ’Eh‧yeh′ is drawn), does not mean simply “be.”
    -
    Rather, it means “become,” or “prove to be.”
    -
    God was not reaffirming his own existence,...
    He was drawing attention to what he was going to become,... in reference to the nation of Israel.
    -
    Therefore, the above Hebrew expression may be rendered:
    “I SHALL PROVE TO BE WHAT I SHALL PROVE TO BE.”
    -
    The name Jehovah or Yahweh comes from the Hebrew verb ha‧wah′,...
    “become,”
    ,...and actually means “He Causes to Become.”

    Yahweh is God's name in Hebrew. As Yeshua is Jesus' Hebrew name.

    What Bible are you all reading. None of my Bilbes say that word in them. They say I am Lord.
