Exegesis
Ekei {ἐκεῖ | e-keî} ‘there’ localizes the command at the same place just identified, and hetoimasate {ἑτοιμάσατε | he-toi-má-sa-te} ‘prepare’ introduces an imperative that turns the discovery of the room into immediate action. The sentence therefore moves from revelation to response, with the perfect participle supplying a completed state before the command is issued.
Root and etymology
