Exegesis
The final clause wə-lōʾ yibnēhû {וְלֹ֣א יִבֶנֵֽהוּ | wə-lōʾ yibnēhû} ‘and he will not build it’ shifts to an imperfect with negation, expressing the futility of the wrongdoer’s actions. English renderings insert explicit connectives to preserve the causal flow and underline the contrast between the seizure and the failure to establish ownership.
