Alternative: depart physically to Him, a complete departure
Research rendering: devote yourself wholly to Him, with complete devotion
The clause supplies God as commitment endpoint and a degree-reinforcing event noun, but no path or place that would sustain locomotion.
devote another

وَٱذْكُرِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًا
Alternative: devote another to Him with complete devotion

Form V makes the commanded addressee the self-directed participant; no second devoted object is licensed.
