Exegesis
The locative phrase be-kerev Yisrael {בְּקֶרֶב יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | bə-qé-reḇ yis-rā-ʾēl} ‘among the people of Israel’ frames the promise in a corporate context, while the parallel le-bil-ti clauses emphasize intentional prevention of pride and disobedience.
In context — Deuteronomy 17:20
In order that his heart not be lifted above his brothers, and that he not deviate from the commandment to the right or to the left, thereby extending his days over his kingdom—he and his sons—within Israel .
