Exegesis
The command is framed by the participial-imperative combination Poreuthentes exetasate akribōs {Πορευθέντες ἐξετάσατε ἀκριβῶς | Po-reu-thén-tes ex-e-TÁ-sa-te a-kri-VŌS}, where the going prepares the main instruction and the imperative carries the force of the order.
In context — Matthew 2:8
After sending them to Bethlehem, he said, “Go and search carefully for the child , and when you find Him, report back to me, so that I too, having come, may worship Him.”
