Exegesis
The emphatic negation velo-yosifu la’asot od {וְלֹא־יֹסְִפוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת עוֹד | wĕ-lōʾ-yō-sîp̄û la˓ă-šôt ˓ō-ḏ} combines conjunctive negation with the verb yasaf ‘to add, continue’, the infinitive ‘to do’, and the adverb ‘again’ to stress the absolute prohibition.
In context — Deuteronomy 19:20
And the ones remaining will hear and will fear , and they will not again do such an evil thing as this in your midst.
