Job 37:15

Do you know how God commands them, ¹  how he makes lightning flash in his storm cloud? ² 

Job 28:24-27; Job 34:13; Job 36:30-32; Job 37:11; Job 38:4-41; Job 38:24,25; Ps 119:90,91; Isa 40:26

¹ tn The verb is בְּשׂוּם (bÿsum, from שִׂים [sim, “set”]), so the idea is how God lays [or sets] [a command] for them. The suffix is proleptic, to be clarified in the second colon.

² tn Dhorme reads this “and how his stormcloud makes lightning to flash forth?”
