Exegesis
In contrast, the clause introduced by ulneder {וּלְנֵ֖דֶר | û-lə-nēḏer} ‘but for a vow’ and the negative particle lo {לֹא | lōʾ} ‘not’ with the Niphal imperfect yērāṣeh {יֵרָצֶֽה | yērāṣeh} ‘shall be accepted’ establishes a prohibition. This juxtaposition of permission and exclusion sharpens the cultic regulations on sacrificial offerings.
Root and etymology
“to say”
In context — Leviticus 22:23
If an ox or a sheep is deformed or stunted, you may offer it as a freewill offering ; but for a vow, it shall not be accepted.
