Exegesis
The second clause mirrors the structure with tāḇîn {תָּבִין | tāḇîn} ‘you discern’ and the prepositional phrase ʿimmānû {עִמָּנוּ | ʿimmānû} ‘with us’, closed by the clause-final hûʾ {הוּא | hûʾ} functioning as an emphatic resumptive pronoun. The parallelism and ellipsis require English to supply a second “What” to preserve rhetorical force.
Root and etymology
“to discern”
In context — Job 15:9
What have you known that we do not know? What do you understand that is not with us ?
