Exegesis
The prohibition mē sphragisēs {Μὴ σφραγίσῃς | Mḗ sphragísēs} employs the negative particle with an aorist subjunctive to instruct against sealing the text at any point.
In context — Revelation 22:10
And he says to me, “Do not seal the prophetic words inscribed in this book, for the appointed moment is near.”
