Exegesis
The vav-wa-YHWH {וַֽיהוָה | wayhōwāh} resumes “and the LORD” with ittanu {אִתָּנוּ | ʾittānū} “with us,” emphasizing divine presence, and the final imperative al-tiraum {אַל־תִּירָאֻם | ʾal-tirʾām} ‘do not fear them’ completes the parallel exhortation.
In context — Numbers 14:9
Surely, do not rebel against the LORD , and do not fear the people of the land, for they are our bread . Their shadow has departed from over them, and the LORD is with us; do not fear them.
