The fear mentioned here is not merely terror but a reverent awe and respect for God's commandments. In the context of Deuteronomy, this fear is intended to prevent idolatry and apostasy, which were serious threats to the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The communal hearing implies a public declaration or event, possibly a judicial proceeding, that would ensure the message reached all members of the society. This reflects the importance of maintaining purity and obedience within the community, as seen in other parts of the Torah, such as <a href="/leviticus/19-2.htm">Leviticus 19:2</a>, which calls for holiness among the people.<p><b>and will never again do such a wicked thing among you</b><br>The "wicked thing" refers to idolatry or leading others to worship false gods, which is a central concern in Deuteronomy. The historical context involves the Israelites entering Canaan, a land filled with pagan practices. The command is preventative, aiming to eliminate the influence of surrounding nations' religious practices. The phrase underscores the seriousness of maintaining fidelity to Yahweh alone, as seen in the first commandment (<a href="/exodus/20-3.htm">Exodus 20:3</a>). The use of "never again" indicates a strong desire for repentance and reform, ensuring that the community remains faithful.
