Exegesis
A series of imperatives—hityatzevu {הִתְיַצְּבוּ | hit-ya-ṣə-vū} ‘station yourselves’, imdu {עִמְדוּ | im-mə-dū} ‘stand’, and ure'u {וּרְאוּ | wə-re-’ū} ‘and see’—coordinate actions of divine witnessing rather than human contest.
Root and etymology
y-ṣ-byod–ṣadi–bet
“to station oneself, stand firm”
In context — 2 Chronicles 20:17
It is not for you to fight in this battle ; station yourselves, stand, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or dismayed. Tomorrow, go out before them, and the LORD will be with you.
