Exegesis
The negative conjunction velo amru {וְלֹא אָמְרוּ | wə-lōʾ āmərû} ‘and they did not say’ introduces coordinated purpose clauses with la‘alot {לַעֲלוֹת | la-ʿālôt} ‘to go up’ and le-shakhet {לְשַׁחֵת | lə-šāḥēṯ} ‘to destroy.’
In context — Joshua 22:33
And the matter was good in the eyes of the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel blessed God and no longer spoke of going up against them in battle to destroy the land where the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad were living.
