Exegesis
The second kî-yih-yēh {כִּי־יִהְיֶה | kî-yih-yēh} ‘for it will be’ introduces the result clause, concluding with lə-mō-qēš {לְמוֹקֵשׁ | lə-mō-qēš} ‘a snare’ as predicative complement. This sequence—prohibition, warning, conditional consequence—mirrors classical Hebrew legal style and is rendered in English through parallel clauses to preserve its rhetorical force.
In context — Exodus 23:33
They shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me , for if you worship their gods , it will surely become a snare to you.
