Exegesis
The imperative shut-na {שֽׁוּט־נָ֞א | šûṭ-nāʾ} ‘go about now’ with the entreaty particle נָא conveys urgency, while the phrase bekhol-shivtei {בְּכָל־שִׁבְטֵ֤י | bə-ḵōl-šiv-tê} ‘through all the tribes of’ specifies scope.
In context — 2 Samuel 24:2
And the king said to Joab, the commander of the army who was with him, “Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and enroll the people so that I may know the number of the people.”
