Exegesis
Purpose is expressed by levilti tet {לְבִלְתִּ֗י תֵּ֚ת | ləviltî tēt} ‘so as not to permit’, which takes as its complement the participial pair yotzei vava {יוֹצֵ֣א וָבָ֔א | yōṣēʾ wāḇāʾ} ‘going out and coming in’; this merism summarizes all movement, explaining the strategic intent to restrict access to Asa.
In context — 2 Chronicles 16:1
In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign , Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and built Ramah , so that he would not permit anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
