New King James Version (NKJV)
“7 The ‘fear’ (paniym: presence, regard, etc) of ‘the Lord’ (ha-YHWH: the-Name, Word and Works, of Israel’s ‘Elohiym) is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise ‘wisdom’ (benah: understanding, knowledge, etc..) and instruction.”

‘The L-rd’ (ha-YHWH): In Scripture, the title that replaces the name of Abraham’s ‘Elohiym, “YHWH”; YHWH is probably derived from the Hebrew triconsonantal root היה (h-y-h), “to be, become, come to pass”, with a third person masculine y- prefix, equivalent to English “he”.[6][8][9] It is connected to the passage in Exodus 3:14 in which ‘God’ (Elohiym: [the] Magistrates, Great, Mighty – ones, etc..) gives ‘his’ (‘iysh: the stewards’, etc..) name as אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה (Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh / YHWH), where the relative pronoun asher (“that”, “who”, “which”, and “where”) is between two instances of the first person singular imperfect of the verb hayah (“to be”). Ehyeh is often, but not always, translated as “I will be”, while the relative pronoun can have several meanings: “I will be that/who/which/where I will be”. It is maybe translated most basically as “I Am that/who/which/where I Am“, [THE NAME THAT DEFINES ‘the Word and Works of Israel’s ‘Elohiym’; ‘the true ‘Elohiym] or “I shall be what I shall be”, “I shall be what I am”[10] or יהוה [YHWH]….
