Footnotes
אֲגֻדָּתוֹ (aguddato), from a root meaning "bundle" or "binding together," is a rare architectural term applied here to cosmic structure, likely the vault or arch of the sky separating the upper waters from the earth (cf. Genesis 1:6–7). The FOG renders "vault"; the FOG Message "great arch" — both conveying YHWH as supreme architect of the bounded, ordered cosmos. The closing refrain, "YHWH is His name," deliberately echoes 4:13 and 5:8, framing the doxologies as a recurring structural motif in the book.
