Exegesis
The verse consists of two parallel prohibitions, each marked by velo {וְלֹא | və-lō} ‘and not’, functioning as a negative conjunction.
The second clause mirrors this pattern: the Qal imperfect yalin {יָלִין | yā-lin} ‘remain overnight’ takes min-habasar {מִן־הַבָּשָׂר | min ha-ba-sar} ‘from the meat’ as its object, modified by the relative clause asher tizbach {אֲשֶׁר תִּזְבַּ֥ח | ʾa-šer tiz-baḥ} ‘which you sacrifice’.
In context — Deuteronomy 16:4
And no leaven shall be seen in all your territory for seven days; nor shall any of the meat which you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain until the morning.
