Exegesis
The negation particles lo {לֹא | lō’} and al {אַל | ’al} govern the Qal imperfect verbs tokhal {תֹאכַל | tō’-khal} and teshet {תֵּשְׁתְּ | tē-šteh}, conveying ongoing prohibition.
In context — Judges 13:14
She shall not eat anything that comes from the vine , and she shall not drink wine or strong drink, and she shall not eat any unclean thing. Everything that I have commanded her, she shall observe.
