Exegesis
A second prepositional phrase, bekherpah {בְּ֭חֶרְפָּה | bə-ḥerpâ} ‘in reproach,’ functions adverbially, specifying the manner of the violence described by hiku {הִכּ֣וּ | hikkû} ‘they have struck.’
In context — Job 16:10
They have gaped at me with their mouths; with reproach they have struck my cheeks; together against me they assemble .
