 I Am that I Am (אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה, ehyeh ašer ehyeh [ehˈje aˈʃer ehˈje]) 
is the common English translation (JPS among others) of the response God used 
in the Hebrew Bible when Moses asked for his name (Exodus 3:14). It is one of 
the most famous verses in the Torah. Hayah means "existed" or "was" in Hebrew; 
"ehyeh" is the first person singular imperfect form and is usually translated 
in English Bibles as "I will be" (or "I shall be"), for example, at Exodus 
3:14. Ehyeh asher ehyehliterally translates as "I Will Be What I Will Be", with 
attendant theological and mystical implications in Jewish tradition. However, 
in most English Bibles, in particular the King James Version, this phrase is 
rendered as I am that I am.

Perhaps we're on the verge of a major philosophical breakthrough - "The Is
