Exegesis
The relative pronoun asher ‘that’ introduces the restriction clause, and sevivoteikhem {סְבִיבֹתֵיכֶם | sə-vî-ḇō-tê-ḵem} ‘around you’ defines its spatial scope. The participial adjectives hakkrovim and harekhoqim present a binary near-far parallelism.
In context — Deuteronomy 13:7
From the gods of the peoples that surround you—whether near to you or far from you, from one edge of the land to the other.
