Yahweh is a Man of war; Yahweh is His name. (Exo 15.3)
The formula, ‘ish milhamah’, ‘Man of War’, is a human attribute, as witnessed throughout scripture, as thus…
• Machir, the first-born of Manasseh, was ‘ish milhamah’. (Joshua 17.1)
• The son of Jesse, was ‘ish milhamah’. (1 Sam 16.18)
• The Philistine was ‘ish milhamah’. (1 Sam 17.33)
• His father was ‘ish milhamah’. (2 Sam 17.8)
• Yahweh is going to remove ‘ish milhamah’. (Isa 3.2)
From scriptural usage, alone, we can clearly see that ‘Man of War’, (ish milhamah), does indeed apply to humanity in all locations outside of Exo 15.3….thus, the only logical conclusion that can be drawn when the same phrase is applied to Yahweh, is that Yahweh was in human form in the OT.
