Leviticus 25:17-19

25:17 No one is to oppress his fellow citizen, but you must fear your God, because I am the Lord your God. 25:18 You must obey my statutes and my regulations; you must be sure to keep them so that you may live securely in the land.

25:19 “‘The land will give its fruit and you may eat until you are satisfied, and you may live securely in the land.


tn Heb “And you shall not oppress a man his fellow citizen.”

tn Heb “And you shall keep and do them.” This appears to be a kind of verbal hendiadys, where the first verb is a modifier of the action of the second verb (see GKC 386 §120.d, although שָׁמַר [shamar, “to keep”] is not cited there; cf. Lev 20:8, etc.).

tn Heb “and you shall dwell on the land to security.”

tn Heb “eat to satisfaction”; KJV, ASV “ye shall eat your fill.”
