'''Meaning'''

Rooted in the imperfect state of the causative form of the Hebrew verb הוה (''ha•wah'', "to become"), the Divine Name indicates progressive action.  This can be seen by the context of Exodus 3:14, 15.  Moses inquies who he said say has sent him to the captive Israelites.  Where some translations render God's  response as, "I am who I am", other translations show the dynamic nature of the Divine Name by rendering the Hebrew text as "I Will Be What I Will Be" or "I Shall Prove To Be What I Shall Prove To Be".  Rather than a simple statement acknowledging His existence, his response to Moses indicates that he can do whatever is necessary to accomplish his purposes.
