Exegesis
The negative particle lo {לֹ֣א | lōʾ} precedes the Qal imperfect verb toakhelu {תֹאכְל֗וּ | tō-ʾă-khə-lû} ‘you will eat’, forming a statutory prohibition.
In context — Leviticus 23:14
You shall not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until this very day, until you present the offering to your God . It is a lasting statute for your generations in all your dwelling places.
