Exegesis
The vav on verivot {וְרִבּוֹת | wə-rîḇôṯ} coordinates a second object phrase, producing a two-part structure (“hear X, and listen to Y”) that intensifies the request.
The construct chain verivot sefatay {וְרִבּוֹת שְׂפָתַי | wə-rîḇôṯ śəp̄ātay} ‘contentions of my lips’ uses “lips” as a metonymy for speech, anchoring the dispute in Job’s spoken argumentation.
Root and etymology
ר־י־בresh–yod–bet
“to contend”
In context — Job 13:6
Hear, please, my reproof ; and listen attentively to the contentions of my lips.
