Exegesis
The verse begins with velo {וְלֹא־ | wə-lōʾ} ‘and not’, pairing with the Hifil imperfect totsiu {תּוֹצִ֨יאוּ | tōṣîʾû} ‘you shall bring out’ to form a negative prohibition against massa {מַשָּׂא | maśśāʾ} ‘burden’ in the prepositional phrase mibateikhem {מִבָּתֵּיכֶם | mib-bāttê-ḵem} ‘from your houses’.
