Exegesis
The warning conjunction pen {פֶּן־ | pen} ‘lest’ introduces the result clause with yifrats bam {יִפְרָץ־בָּֽם | yip̄rāṣ bām} ‘he break out against them’, depicting divine wrath. English renders the wayyiqtol as past narrative, uses imperatives for commands, and conveys pen as “lest” to preserve the Hebrew warning.

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.”
