Exegesis
The demonstrative phrase kadavar hazeh {כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה | ka-dā-bār haz-zeh} ‘such a thing as this’ precisely defines the forbidden act, while the locative beqirbekha {בְּקִרְבֶּךָ | bĕ-qir-be-ḵā} ‘in your midst’ situates it within the covenant community. In translation, vav prefixes are rendered as English conjunctions to preserve narrative flow, and the infinitive–adverb pairing is maintained to reflect the original emphasis on prohibition.
In context — Deuteronomy 19:20
And the ones remaining will hear and will fear , and they will not again do such an evil thing as this in your midst.
