Footnotes
Two distinct Hebrew terms escalate the warning: *אִשָּׁה זָרָה* (*ishah zarah*) denotes a 'strange/other woman' — one outside the covenant bond of marriage — while *נָכְרִיָּה* (*nokriyah*) adds the dimension of foreignness, someone entirely outside the speaker's social and covenantal world. The pairing intensifies the portrait: she is alien in every direction. FOG preserves the literal 'strange woman / foreign woman' to keep both categories distinct; FOG Message uses 'forbidden woman / seductive stranger' to convey the moral and relational alienation in more immediate terms.
