Footnotes
The deliberate repetition from v.8 functions as an *inclusio* within the chapter, anchoring the reader in verifiable, concrete detail. *Demut yedei adam* (the likeness of human hands) uses the same word *demut* (likeness) as Genesis 1:26—'Let Us make humanity in Our *demut*.' The echo is surely intentional: heavenly beings bear the likeness of the defining feature of the creature made in God's image. The capacity for purposeful, relational action is not merely human—it is also the mode of heavenly being. FOG renders the term precisely; FOG Message draws out the interpenetration of heavenly and human realms that the hands signify.
