Exegesis
The coordinated negations lo {לֹא | lōʾ} ‘not’ and velo {וְלֹא | wə-lōʾ} ‘and not’ govern leolah {לְעוֹלָה | le-ʿô-lā} ‘for burnt offering’ and lezavach {לְזָבַח | le-zā-ḇāḥ} ‘for sacrifice,’ highlighting the community’s exclusion of cultic rites.
In context — Joshua 22:26
So we said, “Let us now build an altar for ourselves—not for burnt offering , and not for sacrifice.”
