Explanation preview
Moses is speaking, and the Levites are declaring curses to all Israel as the people stand between Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal, ratifying their covenant with the LORD on the day they enter the land. This brief curse targets secret violence: striking down a neighbor, likely murder or ambush, done in hiding where no human witness sees.
