Exegesis
The verb salal, rendered here in vayasollu, evokes the construction of siege works; paired with darkam {דַּרְכָּם | darkām} ‘their road’, it depicts a ramp raised towards the speaker.
The phrase alai darkam {עָלַי דַּרְכָּם | ʿālay darkām} ‘against me their road’ foregrounds Job as the target.
In context — Job 19:12
Together they come, his troops heap up a road of attack against me, and they camp all around my tent.
