Exegesis
The verse opens with the prohibitive jussive ve-al-yavo {וְאַל־יָב֣וֹא | wə-ʾal-yā-ḇōʼ} ‘and not let him enter,’ where the vav conjunction attaches to the negative particle and qal imperfect third person masculine singular to establish a strict prohibition.
In context — 2 Chronicles 23:6
Let no one enter the house of the LORD except the priests and the ministers of the Levites; they alone may enter because they are holy . Yet all the people must keep the charge of the LORD.
