A Name Above All Names — Yeshua • Yehovah

Geneva Bible form: Iehouah • Exodus 3:14 — אהיה אשר אהיה (“I Am / I Will Be”)

Introduction

This study honors the Divine Name as it journeys across languages—Hebrew → Greek → Latin → English—and how the Geneva Bible preserves a historic form, Iehouah. We connect Exodus 3:14’s revelation, אהיה אשר אהיה (Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh), to the covenant Name commonly represented as YHWH and to the confession of Yeshua as the Name exalted above all names.

Key Thought: God’s Name moves from mystery to manifestation—without losing its holiness—so that families can worship in spirit and truth.
