Exegesis
The prohibition clause uses al {אַל־ | ʾal} ‘do not’ with the imperfect yehersû {יֽ͏ֶהֶרְס֛וּ | yehersû} ‘let them break through’, governing the infinitive laalot {לַעֲלֹ֥ת | laʿălōt} ‘to go up’ and the goal phrase el-YHWH {אֶל־יְהוָ֖ה | ʾel Yə-hō-wāh} ‘to the LORD’.
In context — Exodus 19:24
And the LORD said to him, “Go down. Afterward you shall come up, you and Aaron with you. But the priests and the people must not break through to go up to the LORD, lest He break out against them.”
