The prefixed lamed introduces an infinitive construction, and the waw coordinates it with the preceding walking phrase. The BSB+ label also records 3fs, but the following token אֹתֽוֹ supplies the rendered object Him, so that tag should not be made to identify the English referent.

The form carries the BSB rendering "and fearing" as the second coordinated response named after Israel is told to keep the Lord's commandments.

The prefixed infinitive is coordinated with לָלֶ֥כֶת, walking, and is followed by אֹתֽוֹ, Him.

The command to keep the Lord's commandments in Deuteronomy 8:6.

It names fearing the Lord as a coordinated expression of the obedient life, alongside walking in his ways.

It does not reduce fear of the Lord to panic, make a source-label suffix supply the following object, or establish a complete theology of fear by morphology alone.

High: The coordinated infinitive places fear of the Lord inside the verse's concrete description of covenant obedience.

Waw-linked, lamed-prefixed Qal infinitive construct. adds fearing the Lord as a coordinated expression of obedient response. Attached to the preceding walking phrase. Governed by the command to keep the Lord's commandments. The next token identifies the rendered object; the source tag should remain subordinate to the actual sequence.

What kind of fear is joined to walking in the Lord's ways? In this command, fearing the Lord is the reverent covenant posture expressed together with keeping his commands and walking in his ways.

Direct: The linked infinitive supports and fearing, while the following object marker and pronoun complete the English phrase fearing Him.

The lemma can describe fear or reverence elsewhere; this clause places it inside loyal obedience. The BSB+ label's final 3fs element should be reported but not substituted for the following 3ms object token. English participial wording represents a Hebrew infinitive construction joined to the preceding phrase.

Terminal morphology tag identifies the English object: Follow the token sequence: אֹתֽוֹ, the next row, supplies Him. fear always means panic: The command's covenant setting joins fear to walking and keeping, indicating reverent obedience here. one form settles every theology of fear: This occurrence contributes to Deuteronomy 8; broader claims require the wider scriptural witness.

The BSB+ row identifies וּלְיִרְאָ֥ה at Deuteronomy 8:6 token 8 as H3372 with the label Conj-w, Prep-l | V-Qal-Inf | 3fs; the following row is the object marker and pronoun rendered Him.

The lemma יָרֵא can speak of fear or reverence. This occurrence is bounded by the command to keep God's commandments and to walk in his ways.

The waw coordinates this infinitive phrase with walking, while the lamed introduces the verbal construction represented in English by fearing. The clause, not the terminal tag in isolation, identifies the object and relation.

Moses calls Israel to remember the Lord's fatherly discipline, keep his commands, walk in his ways, and fear him as the people enter a good land.

Within Deuteronomy, fearing the Lord belongs to covenant loyalty and obedient trust; it should not be flattened into either casual admiration or disabling dread.

Teach the two coordinated phrases together: walking describes the path of obedience, and fearing names the reverent posture toward the Lord who commands and provides.

Do not use the source label alone to identify a pronoun, and do not use one infinitive form to settle every biblical use of fear.
