[Mesorah] One of Ten is Different (ki ani hasem elokeichem, Vayikra 20:7)

[Akiva Miller via Mesorah]

<<< For instance, "ki im" is a phrase in Biblical Hebrew meaning "except,"
but the trop always divides it >>>

Sure, the division will seem strange if you translate it as "except...".

Try translating these two words as "but - not...", and much of the
strangeness goes away.
