Exegesis
Each subsequent clause uses coordinated negatives lo tenakhashu {לֹא תְנַחֲשׁוּ | lō te-na-ḥa-šû} ‘you shall not practice divination’ and ve-lo teonenu {וְלֹא תְעוֹנֵנוּ | wə-lō tᵉ-ʿō-nē-nû} ‘and not you shall interpret omens’, reflecting a series of equal-weight prohibitions in the Hebrew syntax.
In context — Leviticus 19:26
You shall not eat with the blood , you shall not practice divination , and you shall not interpret omens.
