He saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth By his powerful will the snow is formed in the air, and falls upon the earth where and when he sees fit. And the great rain of his strength Those storms of rain which come with great force and irresistible violence. He sealeth up the hand of every man By these great snows and rains he drives men out of the fields, and seals or binds up their hands from their work, confining them to, and, in a manner, shutting them up in their houses. Or, ביד, bejad, by his hand, or power, (that is, by those powerful works of his hands here mentioned,) he sealeth, or shutteth up, or keepeth close, every man, namely, in his house, as the wild beasts in their dens, Job 37:8. That all men may know his work That men, being hindered from their own ordinary labour, and perfectly at leisure, may apply themselves to a serious consideration of these and other great and glorious works of God. Then In great rains or deep snows; the beasts go into dens For shelter and comfort, and are compelled to continue therein.
