Exegesis
The construct hadāvar hazō’ōt ne‘ēsetah hatō‘evah {הַדָּבָר הַזֹּאת נֶעֶשְׂתָּ הַתּוֹעֵבָה} uses the Niphal perfect to assert completed action of the detestable thing, and bə-qirbēkha {בְּקִרְבֶּךָ | bə-qir-bē-ḵā} localizes the offense “in your midst.” The English preserves Hebrew parataxis and a clear conditional “if…then” logic by maintaining parallel imperatives and subordinating the evaluative clause.
Root and etymology
t-‘-b

In context — Deuteronomy 13:14
