Footnotes
*Ha-nahar* (הַנָּהָר) — 'the River.' In biblical Hebrew, the definite article with *nahar* ('river') unqualified almost invariably denotes the Euphrates, the great northeastern boundary of the Promised Land at its fullest covenantal extent (Gen. 15:18; Josh. 1:4). Solomon's dominion thus reaches from the Euphrates to the Egyptian border—the precise territorial promise given to Abraham. FOG preserves the idiom 'the River,' trusting its ancient resonance; FOG Message supplies 'Euphrates' for modern readers who lack that instinctive frame of reference.
