Exegesis
The genitive humon {ὑμῶν | hy-MÔN} with tas hamartias {τὰς ἁμαρτίας | tàs ha-mar-TÍ-as} specifies the hearers’ sins. English reorders the purpose clause after the commands for clarity while preserving the cause–effect relationship between repentance and the divine removal of sins.
Root and etymology
hamartano
“to miss the mark or sin”
In context — Acts 3:19
So repent and turn back, so that your sins may be blotted out.
