Oops, misread the article. It is 5500 years old, but nevertheless in Pakistan, not Iraq.--[[User:Jack|Jack]] 01:21, 25 March 2007 (EDT)

You repeat the "I am who I am" thing several times, but do you know any biblical hebrew? YHVH (and no, it's not YHWH, there's no W sound in hebrew, it's a vav) is an unpronounceable word. It's a combination of the past, present, and future forms of the verb "to be", therefore indicating that God is, always has been, and always will be. The tetragrammaton does NOT mean "I am who I am" or "I am that I am", "I am that I am" is simply God's response to Moses asking about his name.
