Footnotes
The Hebrew *nivelatkha* (נְבֵלָתְךָ), 'your corpse/carcass,' is deliberately raw—the same word used for ritually unclean animal carcasses (Lev. 11:8). Its use here carries a defiling weight: the man who bore the holy word of YHWH will die without ancestral burial—itself a profound covenant curse in the ancient world (cf. the dishonoured burial of Jehoiakim in Jer. 22:18–19). Denial of burial meant severance from family, land, and covenantal memory. FOG retains 'corpse' to preserve the stark force of the word; FOG Message uses 'body,' which softens slightly but maintains the solemn gravity of the judgment.
