Exegesis
The paired prohibitions lo teʾammets velo tikpotz {לֹ֧א תְאַמֵּ֣ץ … וְלֹ֤א תִקְפֹץ֙ | lōʾ tə-ʾam-mêts … wə-lōʾ tiq-pôṣ} ‘you shall not harden… or shut’ employ parallel negatives for emphasis. English rendering shifts to subject–verb–object order, preserving the double negation and distributive force.
In context — Deuteronomy 15:7
If there is among you a poor person from one of your brothers in any of your towns in your land that the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother.
