Exegesis
The closing locator betokham {בְּתוֹכָֽם | bəṯôḵām} “in their midst” tightens the denial to internal social space, reinforcing the picture of an allotted land kept free from outsiders. English typically moves the exclusivity (“alone”) closer to the subject for clarity, while preserving the Hebrew emphasis by maintaining the paired ideas: exclusive grant and complete absence of foreign passage.
In context — Job 15:19
The land was given to them alone , and no foreigner passed through among them.
