Exegesis
The vav-consecutive va-asu {וַעֲשׂוּ | wa-ʿă-śû} ‘and do’ continues the command, and the pronoun otam {אֹתָם | ʾō-ṯām} ‘them’ consolidates both objects. English retains the Hebrew imperatival force with active imperatives, preserves the parallel structure, and mirrors the sequence to maintain rhetorical emphasis.
In context — Ezekiel 20:19
I am the LORD your God ; walk in My statutes , keep My judgments and do them.
