Exegesis
Within His quotation, the aorist imperatives syllexate {Συλλέξατε | syl-léx-a-te} ‘gather’ and dēsate {δήσατε | dḗ-sa-te} ‘bind’ structure a sequential process applied first to the zizania {ζιζάνια | zi-zá-ni-a} ‘weeds’.
In context — Matthew 13:30
Allow both to grow together until the harvest , and at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers , “Gather the weeds first and bind them into bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”
