Footnotes
שָׁתוּל (shatul) means not merely "planted" but deliberately transplanted or set in place, implying the tree did not arrive by chance but was carried and positioned beside the water. The F.O.G renders "transplanted" to preserve this nuance; the F.O.G Message uses "planted" while retaining the surrounding sense of intentional divine placement. Additionally, יַצְלִיחַ (yatzliach) is a Hiphil causative form — "he causes to prosper" or "he makes to succeed" — suggesting the flourishing is not merely passive luck but the active fruit of a God-aligned life. The F.O.G makes this causative force audible.
