Exegesis
The initial aorist imperative eggisate {ἐγγίσατε | engísate} ‘draw near’ calls for a decisive act of approaching, with the dative phrase tō theō {τῷ θεῷ | theôi} marking God as the One approached.
In context — James 4:8
Come near to God and He will come near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners , and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
