A pleonasm is a redundancy of language which has some significant meaning (rather than being merely superfluous). Hebrew contains significant pleonasms, just like other languages. The wikipedia article on pleonasms points out some significant examples from English:

Such examples as "null and void", "terms and conditions", "each and every" are legal doublets that are part of legally operative language that is often drafted into legal documents.[1]
