Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 30. - Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it. God flashes the weird brilliance of his lightning over the heaven - not over himself, as some translate (Rosenmuller, Cook). He lights up the whole sky at once with the electric splendour, and even covereth with it the bottom (literally, the roots) of the see. This is, of course, hyperbole; but it seems to be Elihu's meaning.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(30) His light appears to mean here the lightning which flashes forth from the cloud.And covereth the bottom of the sea.--Literally, it hath covered the roots of the sea: i.e., it, the lightning, or He, God, hath covered those clouds which are composed of the roots of the sea, that is, the drops of water which are exhaled from the sea.
