Exegesis
The verse begins with the prohibitive al {אַל־ | ʾal}, marking an ethical injunction.
The noun eved {עֶ֭בֶד | ʿĕ-wed} functions as direct object, governed by el {אֶל־ | ʾel}, linking to adonav {אֲדֹנָ֑יו | ʾă-ḏō-nāw} in construct to denote “his master.”
In context — Proverbs 30:10
Do not slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you and you are found guilty .
