Exegesis
The adverb kullō {כֻּלּוֹ | kul-lō} ‘entirely’ leads into a paratactic list of adjectives: šal'anan {שַׁלְאֲנַ֥ן | šal-ʾă-nān} ‘secure’ and wə-šālēv {וְשָׁלֵֽיו | wə-šā-lē-v} ‘and tranquil’, portraying undisturbed repose. This syntactic structure highlights the poignant contrast between human vitality and the universality of death in Job’s argument.
Root and etymology
š-l-vshin–lamed–vav
