Footnotes
The imperative "Go out!" (*tze'u*, צְאוּ) deliberately echoes the Exodus from Mitzrayim, casting the return from Babylon as a second Exodus — a pattern Second Isaiah develops consistently (cf. 43:16–21). The call is taken up in Revelation 18:4 ("Come out of her, my people"), universalising Babylon as a symbol of every system set against God. The typological arc runs: Egypt → Babylon → eschatological exile. FOG uses the Semitic Bavel and Kasdim; FOG Message uses the English equivalents to keep the typological drama accessible.
