I'm having a bit of difficulty recalling a song I used to know.
Something along these lines:
Barukh ha-Shem
Shehaya vehaveh veyavo
Do you know it, please? It means something like “Blessed be G-d, Who was and is and is to come.”
I'm particularly unsure about “haveh” – perhaps it should be “hoveh”? What is the exact meaning, please?
Any info about the song and where I can find the full lyrics (also in Hebrew) would be most welcome.
All the best,
Simon
Answer Hi Simon,
I am not sure about the song - could it be a prayer that you remember? the phrase I'm familiar with is "shehaya vehove veyhie" which is the meaning of God's sacred name.
shehaya = has been
vehove = and is
veyhie = and will be
