Footnotes
כְּבָר נִקְרָא שְׁמוֹ — "already its name has been called" — echoes the naming scenes of Genesis 1–2, where naming signals sovereign knowledge and established order; to be named is to be bounded by a greater will. אֲשֶׁר-הוּא אָדָם — "that he is adam" — deliberately fuses the generic term for humanity ("earthling") with the first man Adam, grounding human limitation in its creational origin. שֶׁתַּקִּיף מִמֶּנּוּ — "who is stronger/mightier than him" — most naturally refers to God, though deliberately unspecified. F.O.G preserves this ambiguity with lowercase "one stronger than himself"; F.O.G Message draws out the theological referent through capitalisation.
