Exegesis
The paired terms alumo {עלומו | ʿălûmô} ‘his youthful vigor’ and alumav {עֲלוּמָ֑יו | ʿălûmāyw} ‘his youth’ form a poetic doublet, intensifying the idea that youthful vitality has thoroughly permeated him.
In context — Job 20:11
His bones are filled with his youthful vigor, his youth, and with him it will lie down in the dust.
