I AM

Exodus 3:13-14

Then Moses asked God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”

Berean Standard Bible · public domain

Moses asks the burning bush for a name. The answer is not a noun but a verb of being — I am who I am. The God of Israel does not derive his existence from anything; he is the source of every other is.
