Deuteronomy 15:4

4 However, there should not be any poor among you, for the Lord ^{▼▼ After the phrase “the Lord” many mss and versions add “your God” to complete the usual full epithet.} will surely bless ^{▼▼ The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “surely.” Note however, that the use is rhetorical, for the next verse attaches a condition.} you in the land that he ^{▼▼ Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.} is giving you as an inheritance, ^{▼▼ The Hebrew text includes “to possess.”}
