Exegesis
The conjunction velo {וְלֹ֣א | wə-lōʾ} ‘and not’ negates the perfect verb yaladt {יָלַ֔דְתְּ | yālaḏt} ‘you have borne’, emphasising absence.
In context — Judges 13:3
The angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said, “Look closely: you are barren and have not borne a child, yet you will conceive and bear a son.”
