John Trapp on Job 38:24

Verſe 24. By what way is the light parted] ſcil. From the clouds by lightning, or from darkneſs by the Sun-riſing? Knoweſt thou that? Or the cauſe of it? Nothing leſſe. Something Phyloſophers have to ſay here, but upon no great certainty.

Which ſcattereth the Eaſt wind upon the earth] Eurus eſt ventus urens exiccans, the Eaſt wind hath its name in Hebrew from the Sun-riſing; the Latines call it, Ventum ſubſolanum, as that which uſually followeth the riſing-Sun, but whence it cometh, and whither it goeth, is more then Job or any other can tell.
