Some take vision here as a second way of divine revelation. And 'tis true, the Scripture speaks of dreams and visions distinctly (Numb: 12.6.) Others make visions to be only appurtenances to dreams; For though there have been visions without dreams, yet dreams are seldom, if at all, without some kind of vision. This seems the intendment of this text, In a dream, in a vision of the night; That is, in a dream with a vision of the night, as making the vision to be nothing else, but either a representation of the matter dreamed of, or of the manner wherein it was represented to the dreamer. And I conceive, that Elihu in this verse is speaking only of one, not of two ways of Gods revealing himself to man; or rather of one then two. Yet whether we ⟨p. 284⟩take the vision distinctly from or jointly with the dream, the scope of Elihu in this text is equally answered and fulfilled.

Further, Elihu doth not only report the way of Gods discovering himself, that is, in a dream, in a vision, but he declares the time or season of these dreams and visions, or of these visions in a dream; that is, the night, and the night considered under this division.
