Exegesis
The verse begins with the relative marker asher {אֲשֶׁ֤ר | ʾăšer} linking this clause to the anticipated object of sight, enabling a concise introduction without restating the referent.
In context — Job 19:27
Whom I myself will see for myself, and my eyes will behold, and not another; my kidneys are consumed within my bosom.
