Footnotes
הֵנִיחוּ אֶת־רוּחִי (henichu et-ruchi) — 'they have set My spirit/wind at rest.' The root נוּחַ (nuach) means to rest, settle, be stilled — it is the root behind Noah's name and the Sabbath's rest. רוּחִי (ruchi) is 'my spirit' or 'my wind/breath,' and the ambiguity is productive: is YHWH's wrath (His storm-wind of judgment) now stilled over Babylon, or is His Spirit — His active, ruling presence — finally settled and at rest in the north? Both versions preserve this dual resonance; the difference is tonal emphasis rather than a divergent translation choice.
