Genesis 3:11

And he is saying, `Who has corresponded124 to-yourself for a naked one is אֶת-yourself.125 The Manna of the Wood whom I have charged you unless126 he has eaten from the manna of himself, you have eaten.`

126

Hebrew לְבִלְתִּ֥י. Strong’s #1115, le-bilti. Beside, except, lest, unless. This construct is usually followed by an infinitive verb, hence we read here “unless he ate”. Compare Gen. 19:21 where God is excluding the Little City from destruction. These parts of the writing (substantive; particle of negation; adverbs; conjunction) are very context dependent words.

“…to except [le-bilti] overturning the City of which you have spoken.” (Genesis 19:21 RBT)
