Exegesis
This is followed by the dative phrase tois hēgoumenois hymōn {τοῖς ἡγουμένοις ὑμῶν | toîs hēgouménois hymôn} ‘to your leaders’, where the participle hēgoumenois designates appointed overseers.
In context — Hebrews 13:17
Obey your leaders and yield to them, for they themselves keep watch over your souls as those who will render an account , so that they may do this with joy and not with groaning; for this would be unprofitable for you.
