Exodus 3:14

Exodus 3:14 is universally recognised as being the greatest interpretive challenge in the Bible. There has been no consensus on the meaning of this verse for at least 2,300 years because the meaning of just four words therein has defied all efforts at being convincingly explained. What makes these four words so intriguing is that one of them is identifiable in its context as a Divine name and that this one accounts for three of the four words under consideration. The four words of which I speak are ehyeh asher ehyeh in the first part of Exodus 3:14 and ehyeh in the second part.
