Exegesis
The comparison kattsel {כַּצֵּ֣ל | kat·tsēl} ‘like a shadow’ is a simile of insubstantiality and fading presence, and the closing kullam {כֻלָּֽם | kul·lām} ‘all of them’ reinforces totality, indicating that the weakening affects the entirety of Job’s embodied life.
In context — Job 17:7
My eye has grown dim from grief, and all my limbs are like a shadow.
