==Emphatic Pronoun==
<blockquote>
For purposes of emphasis, biblical Hebrew sometimes repeats the personal pronoun. This usage, termed the "emphatic pronoun," occurs when the pronoun is the subject, as in {{b||Genesis|6|17}}, where the Lord states, "Behold, ''I, even I'', do bring a flood of waters upon the earth" (emphasis added); or when the pronoun is the object, as in {{b||Genesis|27|38}}, where Esau implores his father to "bless ''me, even me'' also, O my father" (emphasis added). Some translators do not translate the emphatic pronoun, perhaps considering it unnatural or simply redundant in English.

The Book of Mormon also has examples of the emphatic pronoun. King Benjamin, speaking to a Nephite multitude, says, "And ''I, even I'', whom ye call your king, am no better than ye yourselves are" (Mosiah 2:26; see v. 4).<ref>{{Book:Parry Peterson Welch:Echoes and Evidences of the Book of Mormon|pages=[http://publications.maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/fullscreen/?pub=1082&index=7 Chapter 7], {{sofr}}|author=Donald W.
