Exegesis
The negative clause velo yis’u alav chet {וְלֹא־יִשְׂאוּ עָלָיו חֵטְא | wə-lō yiś-’û ’ă-lāy-w ḥē-ṭā} uses the imperfect yis’u ‘they will bear’ with the prepositional suffix alav and noun chet to describe bearing sin.
In context — Leviticus 22:9
And they shall keep My charge so that they do not bear sin upon it and die in it, because they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
