Topical Lexicon
OverviewStrong’s Hebrew 1961 (הָיָה, hayah) is the foundational verb of existence, occurrence, and becoming, appearing about 3,561 times throughout the Old Testament. From creation’s first “Let there be” (Genesis 1:3) to the prophets’ “It shall come to pass” (Isaiah 2:2), the word frames biblical history, theology, and personal faith.
Divine Self-Revelation inExodus 3
When the LORD discloses His covenant name to Moses, He anchors that name in hayah:
“God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM.’ And He said, ‘You are to say to the Israelites, “I AM has sent me to you.”’” (Exodus 3:14).
The self-designation “I AM” (’ehyeh) proclaims God’s eternal, self-existent being. Every later assertion of divine presence—“I will be with you” (Exodus 3:12)—echoes this same root, assuring Israel that the One who simply is will unfailingly act.
Creation and Sustained Order
Hayah introduces each creative fiat inGenesis 1: “Let there be light, and there was light” (Genesis 1:3). The phrase “and it was so” (Genesis 1:7, 9, 11, 15, 24, 30) affirms that spoken command and realized reality are inseparable. The verb thus undergirds a biblical worldview in which the universe depends continually on divine will (Nehemiah 9:6;Psalm 33:9).
Narrative Texture: ‘And It Came to Pass’
The frequent form וַיְהִי (vayyehî, “and it came to pass”) supplies narrative flow, rooting the biblical record in concrete history (Ruth 1:1;1 Samuel 1:4;Esther 2:5). By linking events with hayah, the writers present God’s redemptive acts as objective occurrences rather than myth or abstraction.
Covenant Promises and Divine Faithfulness
1. Presence: “Stay in this land, and I will be with you and bless you” (Genesis 26:3).
2. Protection: “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Joshua 1:5).
3. Identity: “I will be your God, and you will be My people” (Leviticus 26:12).
Each promise hinges on hayah, portraying covenant not merely as legal stipulation but as the LORD’s ongoing, active presence among His people.
Identity Formation and Transformation
Hayah marks moments of personal re-creation.
• “No longer will you be called Abram; your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations” (Genesis 17:5).
• “The LORD is my shepherd” (Psalm 23:1).
By using hayah, Scripture links what a person is (or becomes) to God’s declarative word, demonstrating that true identity is received, not self-constructed.
Prophetic Announcements and Eschatological Certainty
Prophets deploy hayah to affirm the inevitability of God’s future acts.
• “It shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established” (Isaiah 2:2).
• “Afterward I will pour out My Spirit on all people” (Joel 2:28).
The same verb that narrated fulfilled history now guarantees future consummation, reinforcing prophetic reliability.
Worship and Doxology
In praise, hayah provides the simple yet profound declaration of God’s sufficiency:
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).
Declaring who God is becomes the ground for trust, thanksgiving, and obedience (Psalm 100:3;Psalm 118:27).
Messianic and Christological Echoes
The Immanuel prophecy—“God with us” (Isaiah 7:14)—draws on the covenant formula of divine presence derived from hayah. The Gospel of John amplifies this in Jesus’ words, “Before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58), presenting Christ as the embodied fulfillment of the Old Testament “I AM.”
Pastoral and Ministry Applications
1. Assurance: Because the Lord “is,” believers rest in His unchanging character (Malachi 3:6;Hebrews 13:8).
2. Commission: God’s “I will be with you” empowers ministry endeavors (Jeremiah 1:8;Matthew 28:20).
3. Transformation: The same voice that said “Let there be light” now speaks new creation into hearts (2 Corinthians 4:6).
Statistical and Canonical Observations
• Highest concentrations in narrative books (Genesis, Samuel–Kings, Chronicles) where historical events “came to pass.”
• Frequent in legal and prophetic texts, binding stipulations and oracles to divine authority.
• Appearances span every canonical section—Torah, Prophets, Writings—attesting Scripture’s cohesive testimony to the God who is, who acts, and who will bring His purposes to completion.
