Imamat 22:31

22:31 “You must be sure to do my commandments. ¹  I am the Lord.

Imamat 25:43

25:43 You must not rule over him harshly, ²  but you must fear your God.

[22:31]  ¹ tn Heb “And you shall keep my commandments and you shall 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.).

[25:43]  ² tn Heb “You shall not rule in him in violence”; cf. NASB “with severity”; NIV “ruthlessly.”
