Exegesis
The two possessed nouns edi {עֵדִי | ʿēḏî} ‘my witness’ and ve-sahadi {וְשָׂהֲדִי | wə-śāhăḏî} ‘and my attester’ form a tight poetic parallelism: the second term restates the first with near-synonymous legal force, strengthening the claim through repetition.
Root and etymology
consonantssin–heh–dalet
“to attest, testify”
In context — Job 16:19
Even now, behold, my witness is in the heavens, and my attester is on high.
