Exegesis
The negative particle lo {לֹא | lōʾ} precedes the Piel imperfect yiggallēaḥ {יְגַלֵּ֑חַ | yiggallēaḥ} ‘he shall shave,’ creating a focused prohibition.
In context — Leviticus 13:33
And he shall shave himself, but he shall not shave the diseased area ; and the priest shall confine the diseased area for seven days a second time.
