Exegesis
The subsequent Qal imperfect verbs ṭi-rə-ʾû {תִּרְא֔וּ | ṭi-rə-ʾû} and tī-šmə-ʾû {תִּשְׁמָֽעוּ | tī-šmə-ʾû} function as imperatives ‘see’ and ‘hear’, forming a conditional sequence. English renders these as subordinate temporal clauses followed by main clauses to preserve causality and imperative force.
In context — Isaiah 18:3
All you inhabitants of the world and those who dwell on the earth: when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will see it; and when the trumpet is sounded, you will hear.
