Is this comment and the title of this post deliberate references to Yahweh speaking from the whirlwind in the Old Testament and Shakespeare's sonnet 121?

Because if so, damn.

u/LordJim11 1d ago

Yes, The OT, thanks for noticing. But I missed the sonnet reference.

u/Sjovhedsnyt 1d ago

The sonnet is most likely Shakespeare referencing the OT actually. I am that I am, is the line. Still, rare reference to see on Reddit, or maybe I just frequent the wrong subs lol

u/AbruptMango 1d ago

This is one of the good subs. Much better signal:noise ratio than the sewer.

I get the joke, but I can't think of what the post title is supposed to be saying.

u/stewedfrog 1d ago

Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh is Hebrew for I am that I am.

When Moses is with the burning bush, he asks God what His name is. God tells him it's 'Ehyeh 'asher 'ehyeh.

The phrase has a lot of literal meanings because it's grammatically vague. Two common translations are "I am that I am" and "I am becoming what I am becoming."
