Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 36:30

30. Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it , and covereth the bottom of the Sea .

i. e. The Lightning, of which the whole context speaks which is fitly called Gods Light, as it is called God's Lightning, Psal. 144. 6. because God only can light it.

i. e Upon the Cloud, which is in a manner the Candlestick, in which God sets up this Light.

The Lightning spreads far and wide over all the parts of the Sea, and pierceth deep reaching even to the bottom of it▪ and spreading it self upon it and so covering it like a g[illegible: 1+ letters]y and glorious Garment suddenly cast over and covering the Body of a Man or Woman, or as God is said to cover himself with light as with a Garment, Psal 104. 2.

Marginal references: Heb. the [illegible: 1+ letters]ots.
