Footnotes
Teref (טֶרֶף) literally means torn prey — food seized by a predator — though by this period it had come to denote food or provision generally. The raw etymological image is striking: YHWH as the hunter-provider, giving His people what they need with the directness of a predator feeding its young. F.O.G. uses 'provision' for readability while preserving this visceral force; F.O.G.M. uses 'food' for concreteness without the hunting imagery. The verse pairs physical provision with covenant faithfulness as two complementary dimensions of divine care.
