I hate to keep pressing the point but does anyone know why there is an opinion
that YHWH is 3ms hiphil of ehyeh Qal?
Sorry, I don't understand this. Is your question in fact "why there is
an opinion that YHWH is 3ms hiphil" of HWH? That I suppose is because
the form Yahwe, which is otherwise attested, looks like a Hiphil -
although it may also be a Qal. And then if you are wondering why the
change from Hiphil YHWH to Qal Ehye, well, that's a question I can't
answer - except by wondering if Ehye could also be Hiphil, although the
otherwise unattested Hiphil of HYH would probably by Ahye rather than Ehye.
