Subject: I am Who I am in New Testament |
Bible Note: Greetings Andy! You are right that Ex. 3:14 has been interpreted in a number of ways. However, the 'name' used is literally 'I am' 'What or Who' 'I am'. The LXX translate the Hebrew with the Greek 'I am' and a participial form of 'I am'. So, it is not a stretch to connect John 8:24 to Ex. 3:14 as Jesus is clearly making that connection Himself. By the way, one cannot simply 'count' translations using Strong's. The verb 'hayah' is simply our 'to be'. It can be translated a number of way. But, God uses it in a unique way in Ex. 3:14. It is an interesting study. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
