Exegesis
The negator lo {לֹא | lōʾ} combined with hayiti {הָיִיתִי | hā-yî-tî} forms a biographical aside “I was not in Jerusalem.”
In context — Nehemiah 13:6
But during all this time I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I came to the king, and at the end of a few days I asked leave from the king.
