Exegesis
The verse is framed as a rhetorical question introduced by mi-yitten {מִֽי־יִתֵּ֣ן | mî-yit·tēn} ‘who would give/bring?’, where the Hebrew yiqtol form functions idiomatically to express an unrealizable possibility rather than a simple future.
In context — Job 14:4
Who can bring the pure from the impure? Not one .
