Exegesis
The construct chain ʿănîyê ʾāreṣ {עֲנִיֵּי־אָֽרֶץ | ʿănîyê ʾāreṣ} ‘poor of the land’ emphasizes those impoverished within the community. The sequence of a participle and an infinitive underscores systematic exploitation. The translation renders the participle actively and preserves the Hiphil purpose to reflect the Hebrew’s forceful tone.
