Then all Israel
This phrase emphasizes the collective responsibility and unity of the nation of Israel. In the Hebrew context, "Israel" refers not just to a geographical location but to the people chosen by God. The use of "all" underscores the communal nature of the covenant relationship with God. Historically, Israel was a theocratic society where the actions of individuals could impact the entire community. This collective identity is crucial in understanding the communal consequences of sin and the importance of maintaining holiness as a nation.

will hear
The Hebrew root for "hear" is "שָׁמַע" (shama), which implies not just auditory reception but also understanding and obedience. In the ancient Near Eastern context, hearing was often synonymous with obeying. The expectation is that the people will not only hear the words but will internalize and act upon them. This reflects the biblical principle that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).

and be afraid
Fear in this context is not merely terror but a reverential awe and respect for God's holiness and justice. The Hebrew word "יָרֵא" (yare) can denote both fear and reverence. This fear is intended to lead to wisdom and obedience, as seen in Proverbs 9:10, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." The fear of God is a foundational aspect of the covenant relationship, serving as a deterrent against sin.

and will never again
This phrase indicates a strong intention for permanent change and repentance. The Hebrew construction suggests a decisive break from past behaviors. It reflects the biblical theme of repentance, where turning away from sin is expected to be a lasting transformation. The phrase underscores the seriousness with which God views sin and the expectation of a sustained commitment to righteousness.

do such a wicked thing
"Wicked thing" in Hebrew is "רָעָה" (ra'ah), which denotes evil or morally wrong actions. The context of Deuteronomy 13 involves idolatry and leading others away from God, which is considered a grave sin. The use of "wicked" highlights the severity of the offense in God's eyes. It serves as a reminder of the moral and ethical standards expected of God's people.

among you
This phrase emphasizes the presence of the community and the importance of maintaining purity within it. The Hebrew word "בְּקִרְבְּךָ" (beqirbecha) suggests something that is in the midst or center. It highlights the need for vigilance in guarding against sin within the community. The presence of sin among the people is not just a personal issue but a communal one, affecting the entire nation's relationship with God.

Verse 11. - The penalty publicly inflicted, and therefore generally known, would have a deterrent effect on the community, so as to prevent the recurrence of such evil.
