Exegesis
The verse opens with ve-ish {וְאִישׁ | wə-ʾîš} ‘and a man’, followed by shakav {שָׁכַב | šā-ḵaḇ} ‘he lay down’, presenting death as a completed state.
In context — Job 14:12
So a man lies down and does not rise; until the heavens are no more, he will not awake, nor be roused from his sleep.
