Exegesis
The next element baaretz {בָּאָ֣רֶץ | bāʾāreṣ} ‘in the earth’ supplies the first location, followed by khavlo {חַבְל֑וֹ | ḥaḇlô} ‘his cord’, yielding a verbless predication that English naturally renders with a supplied copula (“is hidden”).
Root and etymology
Rootaleph–resh–tsade
“earth, land”
In context — Job 18:10
His cord is hidden in the earth, and his trap lies upon the path .
