Job 36:32
_ _ Rather, “He covereth (both) His hands with light (lightning, Job 37:3, Margin), and giveth it a command against his adversary” (literally, the one “assailing” Him, Psalms 8:2; Psalms 139:20; Job 21:19). Thus, as in Job 36:31, the twofold effects of His waters are set forth, so here, of His light; in the one hand, destructive lightning against the wicked; in the other, the genial light for good to His friends, etc. (Job 36:33) [Umbreit]. |
Job 36:32
Clouds — With thick and black clouds spread over the whole heavens. Light — The sun. The cloud — Which God interposes as a veil between the sun and earth. |
Job 36:32
With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it [not to shine] by [the cloud] that cometh (z) betwixt.
(z) That is, one cloud to dash against another. |

Psalms 18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him [ were] dark waters [ and] thick clouds of the skies.
Psalms 135:7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
Psalms 147:8- 9 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. ... He giveth to the beast his food, [ and] to the young ravens which cry.
