Footnotes
The phrase *me'al panav* ('from before His face') is the language of expulsion from divine presence — echoing Adam and Eve driven from Eden (Gen. 3:24) and foreshadowing the glory departing the Temple (Ezek. 10–11). The theological verdict is unsparing: the exile is not primarily Babylonian ambition but covenant judgment rooted in Manasseh's sins (see 2 Kgs 21:10–15). Exile is cast as a second Eden-expulsion. FOG preserves 'mouth of YHWH' (*pi YHWH*) to honour the prophetic-speech register; FOG Message emphasises the commanding will behind it.
