Behold, I am before God, just as you are; I too have been formed from clay, asserting equality between Elihu and Job despite any status differences, suggesting that before God both are equal, both creatures, both subject to the same divine authority. The before God suggests divine perspective from which equality is apparent. The forming from clay echoes Genesis creation language suggesting the shared human condition. The verse establishes that Elihu claims no superiority based on divine favor.
