Footnotes
Forty days and forty nights (אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם וְאַרְבָּעִים לַיְלָה) — the same duration as Moshe's fast on this very mountain (Exod. 34:28) and Yeshua's wilderness testing (Matt. 4:2). The text quietly casts Eliyahu in a Mosaic mould: a prophet in crisis, supernaturally sustained, making his way to the mountain of covenant. Horev and Sinai are likely the same peak, named differently by the Elohist/Deuteronomist source (Horev) and the Yahwist (Sinai). Both FOG and FOG Message preserve the mountain's name; the typological resonance is equally audible in both.
