Exegesis
The transitional phrase ʿal-kēn {עַל־כֵּן | ʿal-kēן} ‘therefore’ introduces the emphatic pronoun ʾănōkî {אָנֹכִי | ʾănōkî} ‘I’, followed by the Piel participle mĕṣavvĕkā {מְצַוְּךָ | mĕṣavvĕkā} ‘commanding you’.
In context — Deuteronomy 15:11
For the poor will never cease from the midst of the land ; therefore I command you to open your hand to your brother, to the poor, and to the needy in your land.
