SIBI-P1 H408-04
and let not
| Morphological Notes | Particle of prohibition (negative particle) with prefixed conjunction וְ (HC/Tn). Used primarily with jussive or imperative verb forms to express negative commands or earnest wishes. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אַל expresses qualified or volitional negation, typically used in prohibitions or deprecations rather than simple factual negation (לֹא). With the prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"), the form וְאַל is best rendered "and let not," preserving both the connective prefix and the prohibitive nuance inherent in אַל. |
