Exegesis
The negative particle lo {לֹא־ | lō} with the Qal imperfect titten {תִתֵּ֖ן | ti-ṭēn} ‘you shall give’ marks volitional refusal.
The particle et {אֶת־ | ’et} precedes the direct object shem {שֵׁ֥ם | šēm} ‘name’, and eloheikha {אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ | ’ĕ-lō-hê-ḵā} ‘your God’ anchors the command in personal divine relationship.
In context — Leviticus 18:21
And from your offspring you shall not give to Molech to make them pass through the fire, and you shall not profane the name of your God . I am the LORD.
