Exegesis
The aorist passive imperative poreuthēti {Πορεύθητι | po-reú-thē-ti} ‘go’ conveys a decisive, one-time commission, which is directed by the prepositional phrase pros ton laon touton {πρὸς τὸν λαόν τοῦτον | pros tón la-ón toû-ton} ‘to this people’, where the demonstrative touton narrows the audience to a specific group.
