Footnotes
Your son lives' (*binnekha chai*) echoes the language of life-restoration across Scripture. The upper room, the dead child, the prophet's body over his, the return of breath, the child restored to his mother—this scene becomes a template: it recurs in Elisha and the Shunammite's son (2 Kings 4), and its furniture—upper room, death, physical contact, restored life—resonates forward toward resurrection. FOG uses 'See' for its immediate, embodied force; FOG Message uses 'Look' to invite the reader to witness alongside the mother.
