Exegesis
The negative existential lo yihyehbo {לֹא יִֽהְיֶה־בּוֹ | lōʾ yih-yēh-bō} ‘it shall not be in it’ combines the negative particle with the imperfect verb plus prefixed preposition and pronominal suffix to convey absolute absence. This syntactic arrangement enforces a divinely ordained cycle of work and rest, with apposition underscoring the Sabbath’s uniqueness and fronting highlighting the contrast.
Root and etymology
