Exegesis
The verse begins with the coordinating particle kai {καὶ | kaí} linking this sentence to the preceding narrative, followed by the aorist verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} ‘said’, which introduces reported speech.
A third coordinated element with kai deuro {καὶ δεῦρο | kaí deû-ro} introduces the positive direction of the command, with deuro functioning as an adverbial summons, effectively “come here,” and is completed by the prepositional phrase eis ten gen {εἰς τὴν γῆν | eis tḕn gēn} indicating the new destination.
In context — Acts 7:3
And He said to him, “Go out from your land and from your kindred , and come into the land which I will show to you.”
