Exegesis
The negative lo1 {לֹ֥א | lōʾ} negates etze {אֵצֵ֖א | ʾē-ṣēʾ}, “I will go out,” and the prepositional phrase meimmakh {מֵעִמָּ֑ךְ | mê-ʿim-mākh} indicates separation.
In context — Deuteronomy 15:16
And it shall be if he says to you, “I will not go out from you” because he loves you and your house since it is good for him with you.
