Exegesis
The temporal phrase be-shanah echat {בְּשָׁנָה אֶחָת | bə-šā-nāh ʾe-ḥat} “in one year” sets the period, followed by the negative purpose clause pen-tihyeh {פֶּן־תִּהְיֶה | pen-tî-hî-yeh} “lest,” marking preventive intent.
In context — Exodus 23:29
I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate , and the beast of the field multiply upon you.
