Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1510 (eimi): The Greek equivalent often used in the New Testament to express being or existence, as seen in Jesus' declarations of "I am" (e.g., John 8:58).

Usage: The Hebrew verb "hayah" is a fundamental term in the Old Testament, often translated as "to be" or "to become." It conveys the idea of existence, occurrence, or coming into being. This verb is pivotal in expressing states of being and the unfolding of events. It is frequently used in the context of God's self-revelation, as seen in the divine name "I AM" (Exodus 3:14).

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of being was not merely about static existence but involved dynamic action and purpose. The verb "hayah" reflects this understanding, emphasizing the active presence and involvement of God in the world. The use of "hayah" in the context of God's name (YHWH) underscores His eternal, self-existent nature, distinguishing Him from the gods of surrounding nations.
