Expert: Germania Rodriguez - 4/29/2008
QuestionDear Germania Rodriquez:
I would appreciate very much if you please inform me wheter the Hebrew words "Eheyeh Asher Eheyeh" translated as "I Am That I Am" occurs only once in the Bible.
Thank you
Respectfully yours,

AnswerExodus 3:14 This is one of the most famous verses in the Torah.
Hayah means "existed" or "was" in Hebrew".... Is the first person singular present/future form... EHYEH ASHER EHEYEH...is interpreted to mean I AM THAT I AM, it is translated as I-SHALL-BE-THAT-I-SHAL-BE
iN THE oLD TESTAMENT THE WORD ehyeh is used a total 43 places. it is tranlated as "I will be" This is another name for God.. In the Old Testament this is one is the most personal name.... Another name for God is "Adonai", wich means "my Great Lord", this title is used frequently in the Bible and is translated as "the Lord", The name JEHOVA is a composite of YHWH and Adonai.
