Exegesis
The verse opens with the nominal clause vekol {וְכֹ֨ל | wə-ḵōl} ‘everything’ modified by the relative clause introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁ֧ר | ʾa-šer} ‘that,’ specifying the criterion ein-lo {אֵֽין־ל֛וֹ | ʾēn-lō} ‘does not have’ combined with the pronominal suffix.
In context — Deuteronomy 14:10
Anything that does not have a fin and a scale you shall not eat ; it is unclean for you.
