And Elohim said further to Mosheh, “Thus you are to say to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘ [YHWH] Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Yaaqob, has sent me to you. This is My Name forever, and this is My remembrance to all generations.’ (Exodus 3:15)

…let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Yisra’ĕl, that in the Name of Yeshua Messiah of Natsareth, whom you impaled, whom Elohim raised from the dead, by Him this one stands before you, healthy. This is ‘the stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ “And there is no deliverance in anyone else, for there is no other Name under the heaven given among men by which we need to be saved.” (Acts 4:10-12)
