In 7:5 is a possible acrostic with an allusion to Exodus 3:14

In addition to the above acrostics, the following also are found:
The divine name Eloah three times:
4:9 Hathak Wayyaged Le Eth
6:1 Hammelek Wayyomer Lehabiy' Eth
6:14 Higgiy'u Wayyabhilu Eth
The divine name Nissi:
1:8 'eyN 'oneS kiY
Also the acrostic on the divine name Eheyeh occurs twice in 7:7,
a symmetrical forward & backward double acrostic on the same letters:
7:7 hw) zH w)Y zH hw)
which is immediately followed by 'asher in the text.
Respectfully,
James D. Price
