Exegesis
The repeated negative particle lo {לֹ֤א | lōʾ} frames two imperfect verbs—nitteh {נִטֶּה֙ | nī-ṭê} ‘we will turn aside’ and nishteh {נִשְׁתֶּ֖ה | niš-tê} ‘we will drink’—underscoring intentional prohibition.
In context — Numbers 21:22
Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into a field or into a vineyard. We will not drink water from a well. We will go along the King’s Highway until we have passed through your border .
