Exegesis
The second clause is joined with וְ {וְ | wə-} and sets a parallel request: וְאֵמָתְךָ {וְאֵמָתְךָ | wə-ʾêmāṯəḵā} ‘and your terror’ stands as the subject, while the prohibitive אַל־תְּבַעֲתַנִּי {אַל־תְּבַעֲתַנִּי | ʾal-təḇaʿăṯannî} ‘do not terrify me’ expresses a negative command. This parallelism binds physical relief (“hand” withdrawn) to psychological relief (“terror” restrained), portraying suffering as both external affliction and inward dread.
In context — Job 13:21
Put far Your hand from upon me, and let not Your terror terrify me.
