Job 36:29,30

Job 36:29, 30. Here the clouds are represented as being spread out over the concave of the heavens as the covering of a tabernacle, which come down as curtains and cover the utmost edge of the sea, which is the uttermost part of the pavement or ground of the tabernacle. Here the clouds are represented as one covering and the light another, spread out upon it, as in the Tabernacle built in the wilderness there were various coverings one without another. Elihu probably has respect to the cloud as it now appeared. The clouds of a thunderstorm, when rising, appear at top spread over with a bright light, and at the bottom covering the utmost ends of the earth or sea.
