Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 38:33

33. Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven ? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth ?

Either 1. simply and by speculation dost thou understand them. Or 2. practically or operatively so as to establish or rule them, as the next Clause implies.

The Laws which are firmly established concerning their order, motion or rest, and their powerful influences upon this lower World. Didst thou give these Laws? Or dost thou perfectly know them?

Canst thou manage and over-rule their influences that they shall bring such Seasons and such Weather as thou wouldst have?
