Exegesis
The verse opens with the negative particle lo {לֹא | lō} ‘not’ directly preceding the Hiphil imperfect verb tassig {תַסִּיג | tassîg} ‘you shall move’, forming a prohibitive command.
In context — Deuteronomy 19:14
You shall not move the boundary of your neighbor, which the former ones set, in your inheritance which you are to inherit in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.
