Exegesis
A paired negation appears in lō tinḥāl {לֹא תִנְחָל | lō tinḥāl} ‘you shall not inherit’ paralleled by lō-yihyēh {לֹא־יִהְיֶ֥ה | lōʾ-yihyēh} ‘there will not be’, creating a chiastic structure.
In context — Numbers 18:20
And the LORD said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land nor any portion among them; I am your inheritance among the sons of Israel.”
