Exegesis
The construct chain venakhalat imro {וְנַחֲלַת אִמְרוֹ | wə-naḥălaṯ ʾimrô} is rendered to reflect that the inheritance is defined by a spoken determination; the pronominal suffix in ʾimrô {אִמְרוֹ | ʾimrô} ‘His utterance’ naturally points to the immediately invoked deity, so English capitalizes His to preserve the theological force of an authoritative divine pronouncement. The shift from Elohim to El retains the Hebrew’s rhetorical intensification: the same God is named with a title emphasizing judicial governance and then with a title emphasizing might.
In context — Job 20:29
This is the portion of a wicked man from God , and the inheritance of His decree from the Mighty One .
