That is a holdover from the ancient hebrew where the tradition is to say the same thing in two different ways. It persists to this day. It is a feature of Hebrew poetic writing.

If I were to "hem and haw" about some issue, everyone would understand that I was uncertain/unwilling/refusing a decision. But hem is the same as haw.

"Jot and tittle" is the same. There are countless examples and demonstrations, LOL. See I just did another one.

It is a literary device.
