Footnotes
*Egel marbeq* (עֵגֶל-מַרְבֵּק)—'a stall-fattened calf,' the finest possible cut, reserved for honoured guests or special celebrations (cf. the father's feast in Luke 15). For a woman living in obscurity and fear, this is an extravagant and sacrificial gift. The detail that she bakes *matzot* (מַצּוֹת—unleavened bread) is quietly arresting: the bread of Passover, of urgent departure, of exodus haste. Whether intentional symbolism or not, a condemned king eats the bread of deliverance the night before his death. FOG preserves 'fattened calf' and 'unleavened bread' with their full weight; FOG Message uses 'fatted calf' for natural English rhythm while keeping *matzot* as 'unleavened bread.'
