Nothing. Hebrew words don't work like that.

ehyeh (אהיה) is the hebrew conjugation of the verb hayah (היה) which means "to be"


The root consonants of this verb are h.y.h. If you change the vowels, and add prefixes and suffixes, you change the conjugation, for example:


Ehyeh = I will be

Tihyeh = you will be

Tihyu = You (plural) will be

Hayah = he was

Hayiti = I was

It is the verb "to be." The "eh" prefix makes it into the first-person future tense; "I will be."

The translations (in Exodus ch.3) may render "ehyeh" in the present tense ("I am that [which] I am"), because the Hebrew Bible often doesn't strictly separate tenses, so commentaries and translations base themselves upon context. However, the Talmud (Berakhot 9b) suggests that the phrase (Exodus 3:14) might better be understood as a future-tense.
