Exegesis

The negative particle lo {לֹא | lōʾ} with the perfect hayah {הָיָה | hāyâ} ‘there was not’ asserts absence, leading into the relative clause ’ăšer lo hir’item {אֲשֶׁר לֹא הִרְאִיתֶם | ʾăšer lōʾ hirʾîtem} ‘that you did not show’, with the domain specified by the prepositional phrase be’otzrotay {בְּאֹצְרוֹתָי | bə-’ōṣrō-tāy} ‘in my treasuries.’ The alternation of questioning and emphatic negation underscores both the envoys’ comprehensive inspection and Hezekiah’s claim of full disclosure.
