Exegesis

The conjunction wəhî {וְהִוא | wəhî} ‘and it’ resumes reference to the action and introduces a result clause, with tiṣlaḥ {תִצְלָח | tiṣlaḥ} ‘will succeed’ marking the anticipated outcome negated by lōʾ {לֹא | lōʾ}. This structure frames a direct judicial inquiry followed by a stark warning of failure.

In contextNumbers 14:41

And Moses said, “Why is this —are you transgressing the command of the LORD ? For it will not succeed.”
