-=====1961=====
-The first instance of this word is in Genesis 1:2
-"and the earth **was** formless and void"
-היתה
-is translated as "was", the past tense of the word "be", which we are later told is the root of the name [[Yahweh]]/[[Jehovah]] <3068> ביהוה (which transliterates more closely to Bihivah)
-The trouble is that "be" is spelled quite differently and is not the same root word at all.
-אהיה
-([[ahyh
-]]) is the typical spelling for "to be", but the word used in Genesis 1:2 is ([[hytah]]) היתה
-These are not the same word and should not be lumped together in the same [[Strong Number]]
-These seem to be three separate words, implying that:
-  -<1961> needs to be split
-  -[[Jehovah]] does not in fact mean "I am"
