Exegesis
The adversative wə’ăttem {וְאַתֶּ֗ם | wə’ăttem} ‘and you’ shifts focus to Israel, leading into the negated clause lō-‘āmaḏ ’îš {לֹא־עָ֤מַד אִישׁ | lō-‘āmaḏ ’îš} ‘no man stood’, which underscores uninterrupted victory.
In context — Joshua 23:9
And the LORD drove out from before you great and mighty nations ; but no man has stood before you until this day.
