Exegesis
The vav-consecutive imperfect veyavo’u introduces the purpose clause “and they will go,” and the construct chain pitchei nedivim {פִּתְחֵי נְדִיבִים | pit-ḥê nə-dî-ḇîm} completes “gates of nobles.” The coordination of visual and auditory summonses culminates in a result clause, emphasizing the urgency of the call. The English preserves the Hebrew order and urgency while smoothing coordination with prepositions and conjunctions.

n-d-vnun–dalet–vav
