Job 36:30 - Exposition

Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it . God flashes the weird brilliance of his lightning over the heaven—not over himself, as some translate (Rosenmuller, Cook). He lights up the whole sky at once with the electric splendour, and even covereth with it the bottom (literally, the roots ) of the sea. This is, of course, hyperbole; but it seems to be Elihu's meaning.
