Exegesis
The aorist imperative plerosate {πληρώσατε | plē-ró-sa-te} is a direct command, but in this rebuking context it carries an ironic, condemnatory force: they are told to “fill up” the pattern of ancestral guilt.
In context — Matthew 23:32
And you —fill up, then, the measure of your fathers .
