Exegesis
The prepositional accusative et {אֶת־ | ’eṯ} marks the direct object (hapesach {הַפֶּסַח | ha-pes-sā-ḥ} ‘the Passover’), while the prepositional b- with negative lo (belo {בְּלֹא | bə-lō}) ‘not without’ contrasts with the written requirement introduced by the passive participle kakathuv {כַכָּתוּב | ka-kā-ṯūḇ} ‘as written’.
Root and etymology

“to pass over”
In context — 2 Chronicles 30:18
For a great number of the people—many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun—had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover , not according to what is written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the LORD , who is good, pardon everyone.”
