Job 36:30

See how he scattered ¹  his lightning ²  about him; he has covered the depths ³  of the sea.

Ge 1:9; Ex 14:22,28; Ex 15:4,5; Job 38:8-11; Job 38:25,34,35; Ps 18:11-16; Ps 104:5-9; Lu 17:24

¹ tn The word actually means “to spread,” but with lightning as the object, “to scatter” appears to fit the context better.

² tn The word is “light,” but taken to mean “lightning.” Theodotion had “mist” here, and so most commentators follow that because it is more appropriate to the verb and the context.

³ tn Heb “roots.”
