Exegesis
The first clause uses liqvarot {לִקְבָרוֹת | li-qə-vā-rōṯ} ‘to graves’ as a destination phrase, followed by the Qal imperfect passive yuval {יוּבָל | yū-ḇāl} ‘will be brought,’ indicating lack of agency.
In context — Job 21:32
Yet he will be brought to the graves, and a watch is kept over the mound .
