Exegesis
The Hiphil perfect with vav in vehêchînû {וְהֵכִ֖ינוּ | wə-hê-kî-nû} plus the direct object marker et {אֵ֣ת | ʾēt} and the relative clause ăšer-yā-vî-ʾû {אֲשֶׁר־יָבִ֑יאוּ | ʾă-šer-yā-vî-ʾû} functions as a jussive clause, “they shall prepare what they bring in.”
In context — Exodus 16:5
On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be double of what they gather each day .
