Exegesis
The directive is given in a sequential pair: the imperative lekh-red {לֶךְ־רֵ֔ד | leḵ-rēḏ} ‘go down’ connected by the vav-prefixed perfect vealita {וְעָלִ֥יתָ | wə-ʿālîtā} ‘and you shall go up’, signaling ordered action.
In context — Exodus 19:24
And the LORD said to him, “Go down. Afterward you shall come up, you and Aaron with you. But the priests and the people must not break through to go up to the LORD, lest He break out against them.”
