Exegesis
The verse begins with a coordinated object phrase mele’atkha {מְלֵאָתְךָ | məleʾāṯəḵā} “your fullness” and vedim’akha {וְדִמְעֲךָ | wə-diməʿākha} “your outflow” governed by the negative imperative lo te’akher {לֹא תְּאַחֵר | lōʾ təʾaḥēr} “do not delay.”
In context — Exodus 22:29
You shall not hold back the first of your harvest and the outflow of your press. You shall give to Me the firstborn of your sons.
