Footnotes
Lāʿōlām (לְעוֹלָם) — 'for ever' — from ʿōlam, indicating duration that stretches beyond the visible horizon, either into the ancient past or the indefinite future, depending on context. Here it frames the permanence of God's word: unlike human speech, which perishes, YHWH's dābār is established (niṣṣāb) — planted upright like a post in the skies (bāšāmāyim). Šāmayim (שָׁמַיִם) — the physical sky/atmosphere — is rendered 'skies' in F.O.G. to honour the ancient Near Eastern cosmology (God's word inscribed in the visible sky-dome); F.O.G.M. uses 'heavens' to carry the dual sense of physical sky and divine realm, drawing out the theological weight that God's word is anchored in His own eternal dwelling.
