Exegesis
A triplet of negative lamed clauses—lelo {לְלֹ֣א | lə-lōʾ} and ulelo {וּלְלֹ֛א | wə-lə-lōʾ}—creates a parallel series of privations: absence of God, of priestly teaching, and of torah {תּוֹרָֽה | tō-rāh} ‘instruction’.
Root and etymology
י־ר־הy-r-h
“to instruct”
In context — 2 Chronicles 15:3
And for many days Israel was without the true God , and without a priest who teaches , and without law.
