Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bekerev artzekha {בְּקֶרֶב אַרְצֶךָ | bə-qě-reḇ ʾar-ṣě-ḵā} ‘in the midst of your land’ establishes the spatial domain of the command, while the relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾa-šer} links to the defining clause.
In context — Deuteronomy 19:10
And let not innocent blood be shed in the midst of your land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that there will not be bloodguilt upon you.
