Exegesis
The object of the first imperative is the accusative phrase tēn hodon kyriou {τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου | tēn ho-don ku-rí-ou} ‘the way of the Lord,’ with kyriou functioning as a genitive of possession, portraying the way as belonging to or fitting for the Lord.
In context — Mark 1:3
A voice crying out in the wilderness, “Prepare the way of the Lord ; make His paths straight.”
