For example, in Genesis 1:1 the word is preceded by בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים (

hebrew

The word הָיָה means “to exist” or “to be” or “to become” or “to come into being” and occurs 3561 times in the Old Testament.

This is the foundational verb of existence, identity, becoming and occurrence.

You will watch with envy as I pour out prosperity on the people of Israel. But no members of your family will ever live out their days.
