Footnotes
*Lashon limmudim* — "tongue of the taught/disciples" — is the theological heartbeat of this verse. *Limmudim* derives from *lamad* (to learn/teach), the same root as *talmid* (disciple). The Servant is simultaneously student and teacher: He can only speak what He has first received. The daily rhythm of awakening (*ya'ir boqer boqer*, lit. "He rouses, morning by morning") pictures radical ongoing dependence — not a one-time commission but fresh instruction received each dawn. FOG renders the term precisely; FOG Message draws out the master-disciple dynamic that Yeshua embodied throughout His earthly ministry.
