Footnotes
The double divine name אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה (Adonai YHWH) is freighted with significance: Adonai ('my Lord/Master') placed before the covenant name YHWH intensifies the address—Moses is appealing to his Sovereign Ruler and his Covenant-God simultaneously, stacking both relationship and royal authority. In later liturgical tradition, when Adonai precedes YHWH in the written text, scribes pointed YHWH with the vowels of Elohim to avoid saying 'Adonai Adonai' aloud. Moses' rhetorical question—'what god could do what You do?'—is not philosophical abstraction but wonder born from lived witness: he has just watched two supposedly invincible kings fall in succession. FOG preserves 'Adonai YHWH' intact; FOG Message renders it 'Sovereign Lord Yahweh' to capture both the majesty and the intimacy of the appeal.
