The parallel nifal imperfects lo ye’atzar {לֹא יֵאָצֵר | lō yē-’a-ṣer} and velo yeḥasen {וְלֹא יֵחָסֵן | wə-lō’ yē-ḥā-sen} express prohibition of storing or hoarding.
In context — Isaiah 23:18
And her merchandise and her harlot’s pay will be holiness to the LORD ; it will not be stored up or hoarded, for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before the LORD, for food in abundance , and for enduring clothing.
