Why does it say "Lo Nechached mi'Beneihem"?

1.

Rashi: Also we will not hide from our fathers' children, [to refrain from] telling them what our fathers told us.

2.

Radak: 'Our fathers' children' are our brothers who do not learn, and do not know the tradition. We who know are obligated to mention to them, and not hide from them. Rather, also they will tell their children, and their children will tell their children.

3.

Malbim: The Greek follies and riddles, they hide them from their children; they tell the detriment and lowly deeds of their gods - envy, lust and cruelty. Also, they could not stand in front of powers greater than themselves. They tell these stories only to their elders and priests. The Torah's metaphors and stories, we will not hide them from [our fathers'] children until the last generation. They tell Hashem's praise and glory.

Why does it say "Asher Asah"?

1.

Malbim: The Yevanim's stories are fabricated; the Torah's stories are wonders that Hashem truly did.
