Exegesis
The negative particle lo {לֹא | lōʾ} with the Qal imperfect taʿasu {תַעֲשׂוּ | ṯa-ʿă-sû} yields a firm prohibition “you shall not do.” The sequence foregrounds the festival context by leading with the temporal clause, followed by the designated assembly, and culminating in the inclusive ban on service, highlighting communal rest.
