Exegesis
The negation lo {לֹא | lō} plus the Nifal imperfect yimmakheru {יִמָּכְרוּ | yimmā-ḵə-rû} prohibits their sale, while the construct phrase mimkeret eved {מִמְכֶּרֶת עָבֶד} specifies the forbidden transaction. Hebrew VSO order is rendered in English SVO for clarity without losing causal emphasis.
In context — Leviticus 25:42
For they are My servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as a slave.
