Exegesis

A vav-coordinated second clause adds an internal motive force: veruach {וְ֝ר֗וּחַ | wərûaḥ} ‘and spirit’ is modified by the prepositional phrase mibinati {מִֽבִּינָתִ֥י | mibbînātî} ‘from my understanding’, linking the “spirit” to the speaker’s own discernment rather than to another agent.

In contextJob 20:3

I hear instruction of my reproach, and the spirit from my understanding answers me.
