Exegesis
The Qal imperfect imperative taazov {תַּעֲזֹב | ta-ʿa-zôḇ} ‘you shall leave’ resumes the command, and the concluding formula ani YHWH eloheikhem {אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם | ʾa-nî yə-hō-wāh ʾĕ-lō-hê-ḵem} ‘I am the LORD your God’ asserts covenant authority. The English translation preserves the temporal sequence, mirrors the parallel negatives with “nor,” and maintains beneficiary order to echo Hebrew emphasis on compassion and inclusion.
In context — Leviticus 23:22
And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not finish the edge of your field in your reaping, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. For the poor and the sojourner you shall leave them. I am the LORD your God .
