The Pulpit Commentary on Joshua 23:14

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

And not one thing hath failed thereof. This is a good instance of the habit of repetition so common to Hebrew writers. It is to be remembered that they had no italics, no stops, and, owing to the want of copiousness in their language, a great want generally of the means possessed in more modern languages of emphasizing their words.

They, therefore, had recourse to what is still a favourite rhetorical artifice, the practice of repetition.
