Job 36:29 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Of the clouds; or rather, of a cloud, as it is in the Hebrew; whence it comes to pass that a small cloud, no bigger than a man's hand, doth suddenly spread over the whole heavens: how the clouds come to be suddenly gathered together, and so condensed as to bring forth thunder and lightning, which here follows. The noise of his tabernacle, i.e. the thunder produced in the clouds, which are oft called God's tent or tabernacle, as Psalms 18:1, Psalms 104:3, because there he ofttimes seems to dwell, and gives forth tokens of his powerful and glorious presence in those mighty works of thundering and lightning, wherewith men are frequently astonished and affrighted.
