Exegesis
A parallel clause uses the participle ha-omed {הָעֹמֵד | hā-ʿō-mēḏ} with the prepositional infinitive behera’oto {בְּהֵרָאוֹתוֹ | bə-hē-rā-ʾō-ṯô} to emphasize standing “at his appearing.”
In context — Malachi 3:2
But who can endure the day when He arrives, and who can stand firm at His appearing ? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like the soap used by launderers.
