Exegesis
The prohibitive particle al {אַל־ | ʾal} plus the Qal imperfect tiraʾu {תִּירָאוּ֒ | tīrāʾū} issues a negative command, immediately followed by the Hitpael imperative hityatsvu {הִֽתְיַצְב֗וּ | hityaṣṣəvū} and the Qal imperative ure’u {וּרְאוּ֙ | ū-rəʾū}, forming a triadic sequence that emphasizes confident action.
In context — Exodus 14:13
And Moses said to the people, “Do not fear. Stand firm and see the salvation of the LORD which He will work for you today . For the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again, forever.”
