The JPS TeNaKh has an interesting way of dealing with
Exodus 3:14. In the actual translation, EHYEH ASHER
EHYEH appears with a footnote (a) that states:

Meaning of the Heb uncertain; variously translated: “I
Am That I Am”; “I Am Who I Am”; “I Will Be What I Will
Be”; etc.

For the second EHYEH (Ehyeh sent me to you), the
footnote (b) reads:

Others “I Am” or “I Will Be”.
