Footnotes
*Kelach* (full vigour, ripe old age) is a hapax legomenon—appearing only here in the entire Hebrew Bible—making its precise meaning uncertain, though context strongly implies the vitality and completeness of a life fully lived. The image of the *gadish* (grain sheaf) gathered *be'itto* ('in its season/time') echoes the rhythm of creation itself: a death that is not ruin but timely consummation. FOG renders 'full vigour' to honour the physical vitality implied by the term; FOG Message uses 'ripe old age' to emphasise temporal completeness and the natural harvest metaphor.
