Exegesis
Two parallel imperatives—harem {הָרֵם | hā-rēm} ‘raise’ and wə-nəṯêh {וּנְטֵה | wə-nə-ṯêh} ‘stretch out’—frame the action around Moses’ staff and hand.
In context — Exodus 14:16
And you, raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it , and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on the dry ground .
