Deuteronomy 15:10

Context
15:10 You must by all means lend 1  to him and not be upset by doing it, 2  for because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you attempt.

1 tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “by all means.”

2 tc Heb “your heart must not be grieved in giving to him.” The LXX and Orig add, “you shall surely lend to him sufficient for his need,” a suggestion based on the same basic idea in v. 8. Such slavish adherence to stock phrases is without warrant in most cases, and certainly here.
