Exegesis
This is followed by the negative commands al-tir’u {אַל־תִּֽירְא֣וּ | ’al-tirʾû} “do not fear” and ve-al-teichatu {וְאַל־תֵּחַ֗תּוּ | wə-’al-têḥattu} “and do not be dismayed,” using the negative particle plus imperfect to reinforce refusal.
In context — 2 Chronicles 32:7
Be resolute and brave. Do not be afraid, and do not lose heart because of the king of Assyria or because of all the multitude with him, for there is more with us than with him.
