Exegesis
The command begins with the direct address ve’atah {וְאַתָּה | wə-ʾattāh} ‘and you’, immediately followed by the Piel imperfect teva’er {תְּבַעֵ֛ר | tə-ḇa-ʿēr} ‘you shall purge’, which conveys intensive action.
In context — Deuteronomy 21:9
So you shall remove the guilt of innocent blood from your midst, because you will do what is right in the eyes of the LORD .
