Exegesis
Finally, the prohibition vê-kôl-zār lō-yō-ʾē-kal bô {וְכָל־זָ֖ר לֹא־יֹאכַל בּֽוֹ׃ | vê-kôl-zār lō-yō-ʾē-kal bô} ‘and any outsider shall not eat in it’ delineates the boundary of the sacred provision. The English rendition mirrors the Hebrew legal structure and retains the temporal, comparative, and emphatic nuances for clarity.
