Exegesis
The construct-chain baavi gabbei maginav {בַּעֲבִי גַּבֵּי מָֽגִנָּֽיו | ba-ʿă-bî gab-bê mā-gin-nāw} ‘in the thickness of the backs of his shields’ pinpoints the point of impact. The accumulation of prepositional phrases intensifies the image of a headlong, shielded confrontation.
In context — Job 15:26
He runs toward him with his neck , in the thickness of the bosses of his shields.
