Hosea 13:4
New Century Version (NCV)
“4 “ ‘I’ [Ha-‘Iysh: The-Steward, The-Worthy, etc..], the ‘Lord’ [YHWH: Name, Word and Works, of Israel’s ‘Elohiym], have been your ‘God’ [‘Elohiym: Magistrates, ‘Angels’ (Malak: Messengers, etc..) since you were in the land of Egypt.
You should have known no other ‘God’ [‘Elohiym] except ‘me’ [ha-Yad: the-Means, the-Direction, etc..]. ‘I am’ [YHWH: The Name, Word and Works, of Israel’s ‘Elohiym (is), etc..] the only ‘one’ [tummiym: emblem of complete truth, etc..] who saves.”
Paraphrasing YH’shua (YH’s salvation), ” ‘Your will’ (YHWH ‘Elohiym(‘s): the Name, Word and Works, of Abraham’s ‘Elohiym) be done ‘on earth’ (IN US) as it is in heaven, ….”

Significance of the Name:
‘I Am’ [YHWH (YH)]: “Modern scholars generally agree that YHWH is derived from the Hebrew triconsonantal root היה (h-y-h), “to be, become, come to pass”,[3] an archaic form of which is הוה (h-w-h),[4] with a third person masculine y- prefix, equivalent to English “he”. They connect it to [eg.] Exodus 3:14 – [ETC..] where the divinity [‘Elohiym of Israel, YHWH] who spoke with Moses responds to a question about his name by declaring: אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה (Ehyeh asher ehyeh),“I am that I am” or “I will be what I will be”[5](in Biblical Hebrew the form of the verb here is not associated with any particular English tense).[6][7][8]
THE NAME THAT ‘EXPRESSES’ (IS) THE WORD AND WORKS OF ISRAEL’S ‘ELOHIYM:
“I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE”.
