hayah

• I AM
•  The basis of Yahwehs name is hayah, a verb
  which means to exist, to be, and to become. By
  using hayah as the basis of His name, God is
  telling us that He exists, that He is infinite in
  the dimension of time. Hayah also defines
  Yahwehs prophetic nature because hayah means to
  make happen and to come to pass.

hayah

• If we were to dissect hayah we would find that,
  ha means behold and Yah is a shortened form
  of Gods namethus Behold Yahweh. Behold has a
  powerful connotation. It tells us to look at,

  beholden to Him. The shortened form of Yahwehs
  nameYahis used in Exodus, Psalms, and Isaiah.
  It is found most commonly in HalleluyahPraise
  Yah!
