Footnotes
Nachal eitan (נַחַל אֵיתָן) — a perennial stream (eitan = constant, enduring), flowing year-round unlike the seasonal wadis that run only in winter rains. Yigal (יִגַּל, from galal: to roll) — justice rolls like an unstoppable current. Mishpat (justice/right-order) and tsedaqah (righteousness/right-living) are the great covenant pair — the twin pillars of the Davidic ideal and messianic expectation. FOG renders tsedaqah as 'right-living' for its active dimension; FOG Message retains 'righteousness' for theological and typological freight pointing toward the Righteous One.
