The Key Word — יְהוָ֖ה, Yah.wehgenerated
The name יְהוָ֖ה (Yahweh) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as 'the Lord'. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. This name is closely associated with God's covenant with His people and is used throughout the Old Testament.
In this verse, יְהוָ֖ה acts as the subject who sends both poverty and wealth, emphasizing His control over human circumstances and the outcomes of life.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb phrase is governed by the finite verb מַשְׁפִּ֖יל, He brings low, with two other verb phrases hanging off it: מוֹרִישׁ, making poor, and מְרוֹמֵֽם, exalting. The structure emphasizes God's active role in both humbling and uplifting.
The order of the Hebrew words places יְהוָ֖ה first, highlighting His authority as the subject of the actions described.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint uses κύριος for יְהוָ֖ה, a standard rendering that conveys the same sense of divine authority. This choice aligns with the Hebrew understanding of God's sovereignty.
For מוֹרִישׁ, the Greek word πτωξίζει indicates a similar action of causing poverty, while מַעֲשִׁ֑יר is rendered as πλουτίζει, focusing on the act of enriching.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states, "יְהוָ֖ה מוֹרִ֣ישׁ וּמַעֲשִׁ֑יר מַשְׁפִּ֖יל אַף־ מְרוֹמֵֽם׃" which translates to, "The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts." The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text, matching all six words in a word-by-word correspondence, though the order and articles differ due to the nature of Greek syntax. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q51) preserve five of the same words, with one word partially visible and the rest supplied by an editor, indicating a close alignment with the Masoretic Text's meaning and structure. Overall, the witnesses demonstrate a strong consistency in this verse across the texts, affirming the theological message of God's sovereignty in wealth and humility.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

poor ('ebhyon, dal, `ani, rush; ptochos):
I. In the Old Testament.
The poor have great prominence in the Bible; it is said, indeed, that there should be no poor among the Hebrews because Yahweh should so greatly bless them (De 15:4 the Revised Version (British and American) and the King James Version margin); but this was only to be realized on certain conditions of obedience (De 15:5), and in De 15:11 it is said,"The poor will never cease out of the land"; but they were to see to it that none was left in destitution. The very foundation of the Hebrew religion was God's pity on a poor and oppressed people.
1. The Terms Employed:
Poor
The Mosaic legislation regarding the poor is specially important. (1.) They had the right of gleaning the fields (Lev. 19:9, 10; Deut. 24:19,21).
(2.) In the sabbatical year they were to have their share of the produce of the fields and the vineyards (Ex. 23:11; Lev. 25:6).
(3.) In the year of jubilee they recovered their property (Lev. 25:25-30).
(4.) Usury was forbidden, and the pledged raiment was to be returned before the sun went down (Ex. 22:25-27; Deut. 24:10-13). The rich were to be generous to the…
The general kindly spirit of the law toward the poor is sufficiently shown by such passages as (15:7) for the reason that (ver. 11) "the poor shall never cease out of the land." Among the special enactments in their favor the following must be mentioned: The right of gleaning. (Leviticus 19:9,10; 24:19,21) From the produce of the land in sabbatical years the poor and the stranger were to have their portion. (Exodus 23:11; Leviticus 25:6) Re-entry upon land in the jubilee year, with the limitation as to town homes. (Leviticus 25:25-30) Prohibition of usury and of retention of pledges. (Exodus 22:25-27;
Ps 12:5 41:1-3, especially cared for in the Jewish dispensation, Ex 23:6 Pr 14:31, and even more so under the gospel, Mt 25:42-45 Jas 2:5. The slight offerings required of them by the law were as acceptable as the hecatombs of the rich, Le 5:7-13 Mr 12:41-44. The gleanings of the fields, the olive trees, and the vines, were to be left for them, Le 19:9 De 24:19
