“who art in heaven” is a grammatical relative clause because the subject of the verb is the relative pronoun “who” which is second person in that context. You can still get this kind of thing in modern English, for example “I, who am a farm

I think I understand your argument (you could define "the smallest 'undefinable' number" and now it has a definition) but I still don't see how it overcomes the fact that there are a countable number of strings and

No, you can establish a bijection between strings and natural numbers, very easily.

I think you're overthinking it. Define a "number definition system" to be any (maybe partial) mapping from finite-length strings on a finite alphabet to numbers. The string that maps to a number is the number's definitio
