Exegesis
The first colon places the object first, orkhi {אָרְחִ֣י | ʾorḥî} ‘my path,’ heightening the personal impact before the verb gadar {גָ֭דַר | gāḏar} ‘he fenced in,’ a completed action that portrays confinement as already established.
Root and etymology
ג־ד־רgimel–dalet–resh
“to enclose, wall off”
In context — Job 19:8
He has fenced in my path , and I do not pass over; and upon my pathways He places darkness.
