Here's my interpretation: Lorne has been clear that there's a level of occultism at the higher levels of power on Oddworld. Occultism on Earth tends to borrow heavily from other religions, mainstream and otherwise. Judaism tends to be a common target, I assume because it's the oldest of the extant large Western religions. Also, Judaism has a mystical stream (Kabbalah) that hardly anyone knows about, is incredibly opaque, yet with enough minor details that you can cherry pick to sound profound.
Now, I'm no expert in occultism. Most of the above is speculation. But I wouldn't be surprised if words like Adonai and Elohim are common in various streams of Earth occultism, so Lorne referencing that on Oddworld makes sense.
