Exegesis
The infinitive lalechet {לָלֶכֶת | lā·le·ḵeṯ} introduces purpose, and the relative clause asher halakhta bah {אֲשֶׁר־הָלַכְתָּ בָּהּ | ʾă·šeṯ hā·lāk·tā bāh} ‘which you went in it’ specifies the path to be avoided. English rendering preserves the tight linkage of prohibitions and their divine source while rendering the relative clause smoothly.
In context — 1 Kings 13:17
For a word has come to me by the word of the LORD , saying, “You shall not eat bread , and you shall not drink water there, nor shall you return to go by the way that you went.”
