from 'hayah' (1961); (the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God:--Jehovah, the Lord.
Compare 'Yahh' (3050), 'Yhovih' (3069).
[According to Dr. Nehemiah Gordon, a combination of the past, present and future tenses of the verb
"e'heyeh"- "I will be".
The third person forms:
-
"haya" - "He was"
-
"hoveh" - "He is"
-
"yi'hiyeh" - "He will be"
are combined into the name which the LORD calls himself
"יְהוָ֞ה - Yehovah" in
Exodus 3:15]
