Footnotes
The miracle is timed to the *minchah* (grain/meal offering)—specifically the morning *tamid* (daily continual offering) presented at dawn in Yerushalayim/Jerusalem, hundreds of miles away. This synchronisation of distant miracle with ongoing covenant worship is not incidental: YHWH's provision in the battlefield is aligned with the altar in the sanctuary, as though the two acts are one continuous event. The text quietly insists that Israel's survival in the wilderness is inseparable from its life of worship. FOG uses 'morning offering'; FOG Message specifies 'morning grain offering' to identify the *minchah* for readers unfamiliar with the sacrificial calendar.
