Exegesis
The conjunction uvo’u {וּבֹ֣אוּ | ū-bōʾ-û} continues the command sequence, while hishtachāvu {הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ | hishtaḥăvû} in the Hithpael stem intensifies the act as reverential bowing.
In context — 1 Chronicles 16:29
Give to the LORD the glory of His name; bring an offering and come before Him; bow down to the LORD in the splendor of holiness.
