Job36:32

Verſe 32. With clouds he covereth light] Heb. With the palmes of his hands; (ſo the clouds are called, ſee 1 King. 18.44.) he hideth light; that is, the Sunbeams, viz. when he ſendeth rain, the heavens are masked.

And commandeth it not to ſhine] Heb. And forbiddeth it (thoſe words, not to ſhine, are not in the original) propter intercedentem, Trem. Merlin. for the ſake of thoſe that intercede. He giveth rain or fair weather upon the prayers of his faithful people; who can thereby open and ſhut heaven, as did Elias, and the thundering Legion. R. Levi interpreteth this and the following verſe concerning thunder.
