Footnotes
עֲטִינָיו (*atinaiv*) is a hapax legomenon—appearing only here in the entire Hebrew Bible—making precise translation impossible. The LXX renders it as "flanks" or "sides"; most modern scholars take it as milk-pails or milking buckets, indicating thriving livestock and agricultural abundance. Some read it as "loins" or "thighs," implying robust physical virility. The uncertainty is genuine and should be acknowledged. FOG commits to the agricultural-prosperity reading with "pails full of milk"; FOG Message paraphrases toward flourishing vitality without locking in the disputed term.
