Exegesis

The prohibitive construction lōʾ + yēṣēʾ {יֵצֵ֔א | yē·ṣēʾ} ‘he will go out’ establishes a negative command, paralleled by wə-lōʾ + yəḥallēl {יְחַלֵּ֔ל | yə·ḥal·lêl} ‘he will desecrate’.

In contextLeviticus 21:12

And he shall not go out from the sanctuary, nor desecrate the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
