Exegesis
The first clause foregrounds the object כַּפְּךָ {כַּפְּךָ | kappəḵā} ‘your hand’ before the imperative הַרְחַק {הַרְחַק | harḥaq} ‘put far, withdraw,’ producing an object-first order that heightens urgency: what must change is the divine “hand” pressing on the speaker.
Root and etymology
consonantsresh–chet–qof
“to be far, to distance”
In context — Job 13:21
Put far Your hand from upon me, and let not Your terror terrify me.
