Exegesis
The vav consecutive in vataven {וַתָּ֥בֶן | wattāḇen} shifts from sensory perception to cognitive comprehension, and the pronominal object lah {לָֽהּ׃ | lāh} encapsulates the object “all this” into a unified referent, creating a poetic parallelism between sight and hearing culminating in understanding.
In context — Job 13:1
Look, my eye has seen all this; my ear has heard and understood it.
