And Christ
The personal name of God, spoken to Moses at the bush, means he simply is, the One who was and is and will be. Christians hear its echo when Jesus says the words I am.
The lexical data on this page comes from the public-domain Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance (James Strong, 1890), a Hebrew and Greek dictionary keyed to the King James Bible. It is a reference tool, not a settled verdict: no single word decides a doctrine, and meaning is finally shaped by how a word is used in its sentences. Read the passages themselves, prayerfully, and in full.
