Exegesis

The relative clause introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁר | ’ăš·šer} plus the negator lo {לֹא | lō’} modifies the second member, and the infinitive laḥōg {לָחֹג | la·ḥôg} with the object marker ’et {אֶת־ | ’eṯ} governs ḥag hasukkot {חַג הַסֻּכּוֹת | ḥag ha·suk·kôt}, marking ritual participation. The parallel structure underscores equal judgment on Egypt and any nations that fail to ascend for the feast.
