‏ Leviticus 25:18-19

18 You must obey my statutes and my regulations; you must be sure to keep them ^{▼▼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.).} so that you may live securely in the land. ^{▼▼tn Heb “and you shall dwell on the land to security.”}

19 “‘The land will give its fruit, and you may eat until you are satisfied, ^{▼▼tn Heb “eat to satisfaction”; KJV, ASV “ye shall eat your fill.”} and you may live securely in the land.
