Exegesis
The construct chain millay {מִלָּ֑י | millay} ‘my words’ marks the direct object, and the prepositional phrase ba-sefer {בַּסֵּ֣פֶר | ba-sēp̄er} ‘in a book’ designates the desired enduring medium. This syntactic pattern underscores the intensifying desire for a permanent public record of Job’s testimony.
