How Exodus 3:14 Has Become a Deception

We've been told that Exdous 3:14 says, "I Am that I Am":

Exodus 3:14  And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM. And He said, So you shall say to the sons of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.

There are many places throughout the Tanakh, where the word for "I", "Ani" (אני) is used before "ahyh" (2Sa 7:14 , 1Ch 17:13, 1Ch 28:6,  Jer 32:38, Eze 11:20,  Eze 14:11, Eze 37:23, Zec 2:9, Zec 8:8) showing that in ancient times, "ahyh" (אהיה) doesn't mean "I shall be", it simply means "Shall be".

Exo 3:14  ויאמר אלהים אל־משׁה אהיה אשׁר אהיה ויאמר כה תאמר לבני ישׂראל אהיה שׁלחני אליכם׃

"Ahyh ashr ahyh" (אהיה אשׁר אהיה) translates as "Shall be what Shall Be".
