Moses' name appears at the end of a pasuk in RYHG's derasha, and the
derasha is based on the beginning of the pasuk. I have always assumed
that the original girsa only quoted "Vayar' Yisrael et hayad hagedola"
and later versions added the rest of the verse. I have no sources, but
it makes sense to me.
