Exegesis
The imperative goshu {גֹּשֽׁוּ | gō-šū} ‘draw near’ summons kol pinot ha’am {כֹּל פִּנּוֹת הָעָם | kōl pin-nōṯ hā-’ām}, an idiomatic construct signifying “all the leading representatives of the people.”
In context — 1 Samuel 14:38
And Saul said, “Draw near here, all you leaders of the people, and know and see by what means the sin has occurred this day.”
