Exegesis
A parallel double negative with velo {וְלֹֽא | wə-lō} …
yihyeh {יִהְיֶ֤ה | yĭh-yā} ‘does not come to pass’ and velo {וְלֹ֣א | wə-lō} …
The prepositional phrase bezadon {בְּזָדוֹן֙ | bə-zā-ḏōn} ‘in presumption’ marks the prophet’s arrogance, leading to the jussive lo tagur mimmennu {לֹ֥א תָג֖וּר מִמֶּֽנּוּ | lō tā-gūr mim-mēn-nū} which provides the apodosis ‘you shall not fear him.’ This construction highlights testing prophetic legitimacy and communal protection.
In context — Deuteronomy 18:22
When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD and the matter does not come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously ; you shall not fear him.
