Exegesis
The verse begins with the prohibitive particle lo {לֹא | lō} ‘not’ followed by the Qal imperfect yēšəḇū {יֵשְׁבוּ | yē-šə-ḇū} ‘they will dwell’, establishing a legal prohibition.
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.
