Exegesis
The closing clause hoi de ēnenkan {οἱ δὲ ἤνεγκαν | hoi de ḗ-nen-kan} uses the article hoi substantivally as “they,” with de signaling a mild narrative shift, and the aorist ēnenkan summarizing their completed obedience. In translation, the two imperatives are preserved as coordinated commands, and the narrative aorist is rendered with a simple past, maintaining the sequence from instruction to obedient action.
