God,your in/on/at/with,midst,you & God,your on/over=you(fs) and,destroy,you

Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, you and your are singular in this verse. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 2 topic: translate-names

כִּ֣י

that/for/because/then/when

The word translated as for indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: “and this is because”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠קִרְבֶּ֑⁠ךָ

in/on/at/with,midst,you

This does not mean that Yahweh has a physical body that lives with the Israelites. Moses means that Yahweh has a special relationship with the Israelites. See the chapter introduction for more information. You could include this information if it would be helpful for your readers. Alternate translation: “who is present with you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

and,destroy,you from=under face/surface_of the=soil

If the Israelites worship other gods, then Yahweh will destroy the Israelites so that none of them will be left on the face of the earth.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

פְּנֵ֥י

face/surface_of
