Footnotes
*Etsbe'otekha* (your fingers) stands in deliberate contrast to *yadekha* (your hands) in verse 6. The skies were fashioned with fingers — with the intimate precision of an artisan at close work — while the broader created order is *the works of your hands*. This tactile, embodied language for divine creation is not crude anthropomorphism but a Hebrew poetic strategy for distinguishing delicate, skilled making from broader sovereign governance. FOG renders *shamayim* as *skies* to honour the ancient concrete cosmological vision; FOG Message uses *heavens* to carry the theological weight of God's transcendence beyond what the eye can see.
