Exegesis
The verse employs a paired prohibition introduced by lo {לֹֽא | lō} ‘not’ and wə-lō {וְלֹֽא | wə-lō} ‘and not’, each governing a Qal imperfect verb—tizbaḥ {תִזְבַּח | tiz-baḥ} ‘you shall offer’ and yā-lîn {יָלִין | yā-lîn} ‘it shall lodge overnight’.
In context — Exodus 23:18
You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with anything leavened , and the fat of My festival shall not remain until morning.
