Exegesis
The prepositional phrase baseter {בַּסֵּתֶר | ba·sê·ṯer} “in secret” marks covert action, and the infinitive lemor {לֵאמֹר | lē·môr} leads into the cohortative forms nēl·kā {נֵלְכָה | nēl·kā} and wə·na·ʿăḇ·dāh {וְנַעַבְדָה | wə·na·ʿăḇ·dāh}, indicating voluntary communal invitation.
In context — Deuteronomy 13:6
If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is like your own soul, secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods which you have not known, you nor your fathers .”
