Exegesis
The Qal perfect yeshavtem-bah {יְשַׁבְתֶּם־בָּהּ | yə-šav-tem-bah} ‘you dwelt in it’ signals historical context, while the Hifil participle mevi {מֵבִיא | mê-vîʾ} ‘bringing’ with object etkhem {אֶתְכֶם | ʾet-khem} establishes divine agency and future orientation.
In context — Leviticus 18:3
You shall not follow the practices of the land of Egypt where you dwelt, and you shall not follow the practices of the land of Canaan where I bring you; and you shall not walk in their statutes.
