Exegesis
The vocative Petre {Πέτρε | Pétre} personalizes the address and highlights Peter as the addressee of the divine directive. In English, the participle anastas is rendered as an independent imperative (“Rise” / “Get up”) to convey its commanded force, while the two aorist imperatives are translated with simple imperative verbs (“kill/slaughter,” “eat”) to preserve the urgency and directness of the original commands.
In context — Acts 10:13
And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter , kill , and eat.”
