Exegesis
The relative clause hoitines elalēsan hymin ton logon tou theou {οἵτινες ἐλάλησαν ὑμῖν τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ | hoí-ti-nes e-lá-lē-san hy-mīn ton ló-gon tou the-ú} further defines these leaders by their past action of speaking “the word of God” to the audience, with the aorist elalēsan presenting this as a completed, defining ministry.
In context — Hebrews 13:7
Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God . As you carefully consider the result of their conduct , imitate their faith.
