Exegesis
The final clause velo-yihyeh YHWH immakhem {וְלֹא־יִהְיֶה יְהוָה עִמָּכֶם | wə-lo yi-hi-yeh yə-hō-wāh ‘im-mā-khem} uses the negative vav-lo plus imperfect to convey God’s deliberate absence. English mirrors these structures with “for/because,” maintains spatial immediacy, and reflects the sequence of action and judgment.

In context — Numbers 14:43
