I'm always intrigued that the particular form of deity invoked here is a traditional Divine Name of Biynah, YHVH ALHYM.

Do you mean "Lord God"? I've never thought of that. Is that YHVH as "Lord" and ALHYM as "God"? Individually and grouped together those two words come up quite a bit in the Holy Books (if memory serves me correctly). Very cool.

Exactly. (Remember, Jews read YHVH aloud as "Adonai," is the King James and similar English translations use "Lord" as YHVH translation except in special cases where it would come out "Lord Lord.")
One could argue, of course, that I'm wrong on this one - that, from Chapter 1, verse 1 forward, this book (which is already Adonai-themed with the 65 focus and the frequent use of "Adonai" specifically) uses "the Lord Adonai." That would suggest that this is YHVH ADNY or ADNY YHVH (one of those that gets treated as an exception so that it doesn't come out "Lord Lord").
