That is an English, not the original Hebrew.

Btw, who wrote Exodus?

******** LOL! Ex.3:14 And G-d said unto Moses: 'I AM THAT I AM'; http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Bible/Exodus3.html******

14 And G-d said unto Moses: 'I AM THAT I AM'; and He said: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: I AM hath sent me unto you.'

The words translated "I am that I am" are EHYEH EHEYEH in the Hebrew. "I AM" is EHYEH in the Hebrew. "Jehovah," the name given for Himself by God to Moses on this occasion, is made up of two parts: JAH, which is used elsewhere in scripture by itself as God's name, and EHYEH, "I will be." From this it appears that Exodus 3:14, and the phrases, "I am that I am" and "I AM," are an explanation of the name "Jehovah".

God wasn't naming himself "I AM", as has been mis-translated over the centuries. He was telling Moses his name was Jehovah.

Now if you "Biblical Scholars" can get this one simple thing like the name of God wrong...., I have to wonder for you... What else have you gotten wrong about the Bible that you take on as dogma?

Think about it.
