Job 36:29

36:29 Who can understand the spreading of the clouds,

the thunderings of his pavilion? ¹ 

Job 38:24

38:24 In what direction is lightning ²  dispersed,

or the east winds scattered over the earth?

[36:29]  ¹ tn Heb “his booth.”

[38:24]  ² tn Because the parallel with “light” and “east wind” is not tight, Hoffmann proposed ‘ed instead, “mist.” This has been adopted by many. G. R. Driver suggests “parching heat” (“Problems in the Hebrew text of Job,” VTSup 3 [1955]: 91-92).
