Exegesis
The final Qal imperative we-gu-ru {וְגוּרוּ | wə-gû-rū} ‘and stand in awe’ with the prepositional phrase mi-men-nu {מִמֶּנּוּ | mi-me-nû} ‘from Him’ underscores reverential fear. This triadic structure of imperatives and parallel constructs emphasizes communal praise, honor, and awe in response to divine presence.
