Footnotes
κρίνα (krina) traditionally translated "lilies" likely refers to various wildflowers of the Galilean hillsides — anemones, irises, or poppies. F.O.G preserves "lilies" as the traditional rendering; F.O.G Message uses "wildflowers" to capture the broader botanical reality of what first-century crowds would have seen on the hillsides. F.O.G uses "Shlomo" (שְׁלֹמֹה), the Hebrew name, in place of the Greek Σολομών.
