Usage

The Hebrew verb "hava'" primarily conveys the idea of becoming or existing. It is often used in contexts where something comes into being or is established. This verb is less common than its counterpart "hayah" (Strong's 1961), which also means "to be" or "to become," but it carries a similar connotation of existence or transformation.
