Exodus 3:14 which reads EHYEH 'ASHER EHYEH has been translated traditionally as I AM THAT I AM. It has also been tranlated I WILL PROVE TO BE WHAT I WILL PROVE TO BE and so on. I understand that we have here a verbless clause. The LXX reads EGW EIMI hO WN, (I am the being one). Any interesting comments as to how Exodus 3:14 in the MT can be translated?
