Exegesis
The prepositional phrase min-nî-ḥōšeḵ {מִנִּי־חֹ֑שֶׁךְ | min-nî-ḥōšeḵ} ‘from darkness’ uses an archaic/poetic orthography (minnî) while maintaining the straightforward sense “from,” and it supplies the sphere of peril from which return is doubted.
Root and etymology
consonantschet–shin–kaf
“darkness”
In context — Job 15:22
He does not believe he will return from darkness, and he is awaited for the sword.
