Exegesis
This is paralleled by the vav-conjunctive negation in ve-lo-tiṭṭṓr {וְלֹֽא־תִטֹּר֙ | wǝ-lō-tiṭṭṓr} ‘and do not bear a grudge’, emphasizing balanced restriction.
In context — Leviticus 19:18
You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD .
