Hallo Pere, well firstly I recognised that the heh holem vav is indicative of an imperative and the heh a hiphil, then the tsere under the tsadi instead of a hireq. I was surprised so I checked B. Davidsons's hebrew analytical lexicon and there is written this word idicating it as an imperative hiphil? Also I checked my personal grammar under the assumption that this verb would qualify as a Pe Vav/ Pe Yod.

What is the reason that induces you to think that "hotsety" is in the
Imperative?

I am stumped to be honest as to why the verb translated as "bring" in
this verse is in the imperative. Just like many others in exodus.
It could just as easily have been a standard hiphil perfect? and
received the same translation, or not? After a few days I can not see
why it should be in the imperative.
