Exegesis
The final cholalta {חוֹלָלְתָּ | ḥôlālətā} ‘were you brought forth’ echoes the first passive verb with a different stem, tightening the parallelism and heightening the irony: the addressee is neither the first human nor older than the ancient landscape.
Root and etymology
consonantsChet–Vav–Lamed

In context — Job 15:7
Were you born as the first man? Or were you brought forth before the hills?
