Exegesis
The first colon fronts the object akhay {אַ֭חַי | ʾaḥay} ‘my brothers’ and immediately anchors the separation with the prepositional phrase me’alay {מֵעָלַ֣י | mēʿālay} ‘from upon me,’ before the verb hirchiq {הִרְחִ֑יק | hirḥîq} supplies the action; the third person singular subject is implicit and, in the surrounding discourse, refers to God as the one behind Job’s losses.
In context — Job 19:13
My brothers, He has put far from me, and my acquaintances are surely estranged from me.
