Exegesis
The command sequence lekh {לֵךְ | lēk} ‘go’ + haamed {הַעֲמֵד | haʿămēd} ‘cause to stand/set’ forms a chain of imperatives in which the Hiphil directs Isaiah to ensure that a watcher is installed, not merely to go himself.
Root and etymology
consonantsAyin–Mem–Dalet
“to stand”
In context — Isaiah 21:6
For thus the Lord said to me: “Go, place the watchman ; let him declare what he sees.”
