Exegesis
Next, ve-akhaz {וְאָחַז | wə-ʼā-ḥaz} ‘and it seizes’ resumes the sequence, leading into the nominal clause where pallatzut {פַּלָּצֽוּת | pallā-tsût} ‘trembling’ functions as the subject in an experiential statement.
In context — Job 21:6
And if I remember, I am dismayed , and trembling seizes my flesh .
