Exegesis
The final clause lo tihyeh lifleitah {לֹ֥א תִהְיֶ֖ה לִפְלֵיטָֽה | lō ti-hyēh li-plê-ṭāh} combines a negative particle with an existential verb and a predicate noun to assert that Egypt lacks any means of escape. The syntactic progression from general conquest to particular inescapability underscores the completeness of the action.
