Exegesis
The Hiphil imperfect vehigisho {וְהִגִּישׁוֹ | wə-higgîšô} ‘he shall present him’ marks the formal presentation stage, governed by the prepositional phrase el-ha'elohim {אֶל־הָאֱלֹהִים | ʾel-hā-ʾĕ-lō-hîm} ‘to God.’ While some interpret ha'elohim as “judges” due to its plural morphology, the singular verb, ritual context, and covenantal setting favor a divine reading.
In context — Exodus 21:6
Then his master shall bring him before God , and bring him to the door or to the doorpost; and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.
