Exegesis
The two prohibitions are framed by the negative particle lo {לֹא | lō} ‘not’ with the Qal imperfects yihyeh {יִהְיֶ֤ה | yiḥyēh} ‘it shall be’ and yilbash {יִלְבַּ֥שׁ | yilbaš} ‘he shall wear’, marking timeless prohibitions.
The coordinating velo {וְלֹא־ | wǝ-lō} ‘and not’ links the actions.
In context — Deuteronomy 22:5
A woman must not carry a man’s item on her, and a man must not put on a woman’s garment, for everyone who does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God .
