An exposition with practical observations continued upon the thirty-fifth, thirty-sixth, and thirty-seventh chapters of…

Elihu insists still upon the works of God, He spreadeth his light. Some understand by this light, the lightening; and it is a great truth, God wonderfully spreads the lightening upon the da•k clouds, as if they were all in a flame, That's clear to the eye when it lighteneth; and God is s•yd (Psal. 144.6.) To cast ⟨p. 410⟩forth his lightening; which comes near this word in the text, he spreadeth it. But because in the next chapter Elihu speaks purposely of the lightening, therefore I shall not stay upon that sense here, but decline it.

Rather take light in the common notion; He spreadeth his light, that is, the light of the Sun, which is eminently called Gods Light, upon it, that is, upon the cloud spoken of in the form verse▪ and so the two parts of this verse, yield us a description (as I conceive) of the weather-changes made by God. When we have had much rain and storms, God can presently spread his light upon the cloud, that is, cause the light and heat of the Sun to conquer the clouds and scatter them.
