Exegesis
The second person aorist passive imperative hagnistheti {ἁγνίσθητι | hagnísthēti} “purify yourself” launches the main command, with the prepositional phrase syn autois {σὺν αὐτοῖς | sýn autoîs} “with them” specifying joint participation.
In context — Acts 21:24
Take these men and undergo purification alongside them, and assume their expenses so that they may shave their heads. Then all will recognize that the claims made about you have no basis, yet you yourself maintain a disciplined life, keeping the law .
