Homework Help: Name of God meaning “HE WHO IS” or similar! School project due tommorow!!! HELP SOS! :woman_technologist:t2::bowing_woman:t2::writing_hand:t2:
See John 4:4. Also, when googling it, you are sent to the CCC about creation. I do not know if this helps. God has called himself I Am when speaking about His name.
In the Catholic Encyclopedia:
Jehovah is composed of the abbreviated forms of the imperfect, the participle, and the perfect of the Hebrewverb “to be” ( ye=yehi; ho=howeh; wa=hawah ). According to this explanation, the meaning of Jehovah would be “he who will be, is, and has been”. But such a word-formation has no analogy in the Hebrew language.
