Footnotes
The Hebrew names the river simply הַפְּרָת (ha-Perat), its ancient Semitic form. FOG preserves 'Perat' as the Hebrew name; FOG Message uses 'Euphrates,' the English form derived through Greek. The word מִדְבָּר (midbar, 'wilderness/desert') here denotes semi-arid steppe—grazing territory, not barren wasteland—reflecting the pastoral realities driving Reubenite expansion eastward.
