Footnotes
ἐλεημοσύνην (eleēmosynēn) = acts of mercy/almsgiving — more than charity, it is hesed enacted toward the vulnerable; giving to the poor is giving to YHWH (Prov. 19:17). τοῖς οὐρανοῖς (tois ouranois) = lit. "the skies/heavens" — F.O.G renders "skies" to honour the physical cosmological sense; F.O.G Message uses "heaven" to draw out the eschatological and theological dimension of the treasure's location.
