Exegesis
The prohibitive particle bal {בַּל־ | bal} introduces a purpose clause, followed by the paratactic sequence of verbs yakumu {יָקֻ֙מוּ֙ | yā-qū-mū} “they rise,” veyarshu {וְיָ֣רְשׁוּ | wə-yār-šū} “and they possess,” and umalu {וּמָלְא֥וּ | u-mā-l’û} “and they fill.”
In context — Isaiah 14:21
Prepare slaughter for his sons because of the iniquity of their fathers, so that they may not rise up and take possession of the land, and so that they may not cover the face of the world with cities.
