Deuteronomy 32:38
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.”
סֵתֶר
The hidden place. Not a bunker you build — a place you abide. The Hebrew carries the sense of being covered, concealed, sheltered under something larger than yourself. To dwell in the secret place of the Most High is to live inside His protection, not just visit it.
הָיָה
let it be

הָיָה
I AM. Hayah. The self-existent one. When Moses asked God His name God said I AM THAT I AM. Not I was or I will be but I AM. Always present always existing always enough. Jesus used the same words: before Abraham was I AM.
