Footnotes
*Lechok* (לְחֹק, 'as a statute/decree') is striking — the covenant is described not merely as a promise but as *choq*, a fixed, binding ordinance akin to constitutional law. This legal register assures that the covenant cannot be revoked by human failure. FOG retains 'statute'; FOG Message's 'unbreakable decree' makes the permanence visceral for the modern reader.
