He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment:
a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He. (Deu 32:4)
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
steadfast love and faithfulness go before you. (Psa 89:14)

WHO is יהוה ?
I AM that I AM. The word translated as "who" or "that" in the above passage comes from Strong's H834 (אשׁר) pronounced "ash-er". According to Strong's entry for H834, the word serves as any of the relative pronouns who, which, what, that, where, when, how, because, in order that. However, this explanation does not provide a description of "Who is יהוה."
Consider Strong's H833 (אשׁר) pronounced "aw-share". This word contains the exact same consonants as H834 but someone has determined that H833 and H834 contain different vowel markings. H833 means to be straight (used in the widest sense, especially to be level, right, happy); figuratively to go forward, be honest, prosper. According to Webster's 1828 Dictionary, "straight" can mean upright, according with justice and rectitude, not deviating from truth or fairness. Also according to Webster's 1828 Dictionary, "upright" can mean honest; just; adhering to rectitude in all social intercourse; not deviating from correct moral principles.
As we draw near and cleanse ourselves with the Word of יהוה, we learn the very heart and character of the One we serve and the basis of His kingdom: upright, according with justice and rectitude, not deviating from truth or fairness.
This more accurately defines "Who is יהוה" and the message that יהוה was trying to convey to Moses and the children of Israel... and the message that He continues to convey to us today.
He is the rock. His work is perfect. All His ways are justice. A Magistrate (H430) of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. His Son - who was made in His likeness - was referred to as the Just One, the Righteous One, the Zadok One.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Steadfast love and faithfulness go before Him. Upright, according with justice and rectitude, not deviating from truth or fairness... that explains the character and heart of "who is יהוה"... our Almighty Magistrate!
