Leviticus 20:22

Context
Exhortation to Holiness and Obedience

20:22 “‘You must be sure to obey all my statutes and regulations, 1  so that 2  the land to which I am about to bring you to take up residence there does not vomit you out.

1 tn Heb “And you shall keep all my statutes and all my regulations 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 22:31, etc.).

2 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
