Exegesis
The negative imperative lo takrivu {לֹא תַקְרִיבוּ | lô tak-rî-vû} ‘you shall not offer’ in the Hiphil stem expresses a direct prohibition.
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ introduces a result clause marked by the negative lo {לֹא | lô} ‘not’ combined with the infinitival noun leratson {לְרָצוֹן | lĕ-rā-ṣôn} ‘for acceptance’ and the imperfect yihyeh {יִהְיֶה | yiḥ-yêh} ‘it will be,’ indicating a future outcome.
Root and etymology
“to say”
In context — Leviticus 22:20
Any animal that has a defect you shall not offer, because it will not be accepted for you.
