Exegesis
The verse opens with the paired Hiphil imperatives habiu {הביאו | hə-ḇî-ʾû} ‘bring’ (plural) and havii {הָבִ֤יאִי | hā-vî-ʾî} ‘bring’ (singular), intensifying the call.
In context — Isaiah 16:3
Bring counsel, render judgment ; set your shadow like night in the middle of noon; hide the outcasts, and do not reveal the wanderer.
