Brother Leggatt gave a wonderful explanation
of a passage in the Old Testament. I thought it was excellent. “I AM THAT I AM,”
and he analyzed it: I am that Being—associated with the word be—am is be—Being that
always existed. “I AM THAT I AM” that I am that always existed (Ex. 3;14). (David
O. McKay, address to the missionaries of the North British Mission in
Manchester, England, March 1, 1961, in Anne-Marie Wright Lampropoulos, A
Vision Splendid: The Discourses of David O. McKay [Salt Lake City: Greg
Kofford Books, 2022], 132)
