| 1. Linguistic Exegesis The verse begins with the attention formula hen-kol {הֶן־כֹּ֭ל | hēn-kōl} fronting the totality marker “all” for emphasis. The structure employs a verb-subject order in raatah eini {רָאֲתָ֣ה עֵינִ֑י | rāʾăṯāh ʿênî} and shameah oznai {שָֽׁמְעָ֥ה אָ֝זְנִ֗י | šāməʿāh ʾoznî}, personifying Job’s faculties through feminine verb agreement. 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. |
