Exegesis
The fronted objects laylah {לַיְלָה | laylāh} ‘night’ and leyom {לְיוֹם | lə-yôm} ‘to day’ precede the verb yasimu {יָשִׂימוּ | yāśîmû} ‘they set/place’, producing emphasis: “night—into day—they put,” highlighting the claimed inversion of reality.
In context — Job 17:12
They turn night into day; light is near in the face of darkness.
