Exegesis
The comparative phrase kecheil {כְּחֵ֥יל | kəḥêl} ‘like wealth’ introduces a comparison that ties the loss to the very substance of his temurato {תְּ֝מוּרָת֗וֹ | təmūrātô} ‘his exchange,’ highlighting the transactional character of his gain.
Root and etymology
מ־ו־רmem–vav–resh
“to exchange, substitute”
In context — Job 20:18
He returns what he toiled for and does not swallow; like the wealth of his exchange, he does not rejoice.
