Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَمَا (And not) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Negation (not/no)
وَمَا (And not) is a negation word — it makes the next word negative, like "not" or "no".
We add "not" or "no" to negate what follows.

Sahih International

And We did not make them [i.e., the prophets] forms not eating food, nor were they immortal [on earth].
