Exegesis
The second clause is coordinated by the conditional particle im {אִם | ʾim} ‘or if’, followed by the Hifil infinitive construct kehātel {כְּהָתֵל | kə-hā-ṯēl} ‘like deceiving’ and the Hifil imperfect tehātellu {תְּהָתֵלּוּ | tə-hā-ṯēl-lû} ‘will you deceive’, drawing an analogy with human action be’enosh {בֶּאֱנוֹשׁ | bə-ʾe-nôš} ‘with a mortal man’.
Root and etymology
h-t-lHeh–Tav–Lamed
“to deceive, mislead”
In context — Job 13:9
Is it good that He examines you? Or, as one deceives a mortal , will you deceive Him?
