Exegesis
The Hebrew clause begins with a fronted adjective tamim {תָּמִ֣ים | tā-mîm} ‘blameless’ to foreground moral integrity, followed by the imperfect verb tihyeh {תִּֽהְיֶ֔ה | tih-yeh-hāh} ‘you shall be,’ creating a sustained imperative.
In context — Deuteronomy 18:13
You shall be blameless with the LORD your God .
