Exegesis
The relative clause asher yechsar lo {אֲשֶׁר יֶחְסַר לֽוֹ | ʼă-šer ye-ḥsār lō} ‘that he lacks’ frames the condition for assistance. English translation renders the Hebrew VSO order as SVO while preserving the emphatic force of the infinitive–imperfect constructions and the conditional nuance of the relative clause.
In context — Deuteronomy 15:8
But you shall surely open your hand to him and shall surely lend him enough for his need , whatever he may lack.
