Exegesis
The jussive-imperative ʾal-timrōdū {אַל־תִּמְרֹדוּ | ʾal-timrōdū} ‘do not rebel’ sets the first command, linked by wə-ʾattēm {וְאַתֶּם | wə-ʾattēm} ‘and you’ to the parallel command ʾal-tirʾū {אַל־תִּֽירְאוּ | ʾal-tirʾū} ‘do not fear.’
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.
