Exegesis
The prepositional phrase basad {בַּסַּד | bas-sād} “in the stocks” precedes raglay {רַגְלַי | raglay} “my feet,” intensifying the image of confinement by foregrounding the instrument.
The final clause fronts al-sharshe raglay {עַל־שָׁרְשֵׁי רַגְלַי | ʿal-šāršê raglay} “upon the roots of my feet” before tithakkeh {תִּתְחַקֶּה | tit-ḥaq-qeh} “You mark,” highlighting that even the lowliest point is not beyond inspection.
In context — Job 13:27
You set my feet in the stocks and keep watch over all my paths; You mark the soles of my feet.
