Significance of the Name of the ‘Elohiym of Israel:

YHWH (YH) (the ‘I AM’, (replaced by L-rd)):

“Moses says: May I say who sent me? He asks for ‘God’s‘ [‘Elohiym’s] name. The Israelites will want to know who has sent me, and ‘God’ [‘Elohiym] replies with a sentence, “Ehyeh asher ehyeh.” This is a first person sentence that can be translated, “I am who I am”, or perhaps, “I will be who I will be,”..

The name that is the Word and Works of Abraham’s ‘Elohiym! The expressions (ruwach: spirit, etc..) of the ‘Elohiym of Abraham (YHWH). YH’s wisdom in YH’s ‘angels’ (messengers), the appointed, men, women, and prophets leading to ‘YH’shua’ (YH Saves). (See: John 14:12).

May, “YHWH bless you and keep you!” Numbers 6: 24-26.
