Deuteronomy 15:8

15:8 Instead, you must be sure to open your hand to him and generously lend him whatever he needs.

Deuteronomy 17:17

17:17 Furthermore, he must not marry many wives lest his affections turn aside, and he must not accumulate much silver and gold.

tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute before both verbs. The translation indicates the emphasis with the words “be sure to” and “generously,” respectively.

tn Heb “whatever his need that he needs for himself.” This redundant expression has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

tn Heb “must not multiply” (cf. KJV, NASB); NLT “must not take many.”
