Exegesis
The paired participles yotse va {יֹצֵא וָבָ֔א | yotseʾ vābāʾ} ‘going out and coming in’ function idiomatically for unrestricted travel and trade; negating this pair communicates an ongoing blockade. English renders the compact Hebrew purpose clause as a clear intent statement (“to prevent”) while keeping the bidirectional idiom (“go out or come in”) to preserve the sense of total restriction.
