Exegesis
The conjunction wə-lo {וְלֹא | wə-lō} links to the second prohibition tigzol {תִגְזֹל | tiḡẓōl} ‘you shall rob,’ emphasizing forcible taking.
In context — Leviticus 19:13
You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob them. You shall not withhold the wages of a hired worker with you until morning.
