Deuteronomy 8:4

A couple weeks ago, the Daily Dose of Hebrew went over Deuteronomy 8:4:


"Your clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years."

I thought it interesting that while these verbs are opposites in some ways ("wear out" describes a decrease in material, and "swell" describes in increase in size), because they're both negated, they end up relating the same thing (that God preserved His people during the exodus), just coming from different directions.
