Footnotes
The Hebrew צִדְקָהּ (*tzidkah*) carries both moral righteousness and forensic vindication — covenant-right standing made publicly visible. The blazing image נֹגַהּ (*nogah*, radiance/gleam) evokes intense, piercing light; FOG renders it "brilliant light" to capture raw luminous force, while FOG Message uses "blazing dawn" to draw out the typological sense of a new age breaking over the horizon. Crucially, יְשׁוּעָתָהּ (*yeshu'atah*, "her deliverance/salvation") shares its root with the name Yeshua — an intertextual thread Isaiah weaves throughout these closing chapters, making the personal and the cosmic inseparable.
