Exegesis
The negative particle lōʾ {לֹא | lōʾ} combined with the imperfect yirʾû/yirʾūhā {יִרְאוּ ... יִרְאוּהָ | yirʾû ... yirʾūhā} establishes a parallel negation that reinforces the certainty of exclusion. This syntactic parallelism highlights the covenantal consequence of contempt.
In context — Numbers 14:23
None of them will see the land that I swore to their fathers, and all who despise Me will not see it.
