Footnotes
The phrase translated "I was altogether" contains heyot-ehyeh (הֱיוֹת-אֶהְיֶה), which incorporates Ehyeh — the divine self-declaration at the burning bush, "I AM / I WILL BE" (Exod. 3:14). God's silence had been misread as moral indifference or even complicity. Now Ehyeh — the eternally self-existent One — speaks to correct the delusion that He had become as morally casual as fallen humanity. F.O.G. preserves Ehyeh to name this devastating inversion; F.O.G.M. renders the emotional shock of the confrontation.
