Footnotes
The fourth oracle formula expands on v.4 by adding וְיֹדֵעַ דַּעַת עֶלְיוֹן (*yode'a da'at Elyon*, 'who knows the knowledge of the Most High'). Three divine names now accumulate — אֵל (*El*), עֶלְיוֹן (*Elyon*, Most High), and שַׁדַּי (*Shaddai*, the Almighty) — a crescendo of divine titles immediately before the climactic star prophecy. *Elyon* appears in Melchizedek's blessing of Abram (Gen 14:18–20), connecting this oracle to the oldest strata of Israelite covenantal theology.
