"By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?"(v.24)
Division of light from darkness touches upon the everlasting covenant.(Ge.1:4) Parting of the light figuratively keeps day and night as separate kingdoms so ravens have day while the lions have the night (vv.39-41) Who feeds them? "(The lions) couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait" and the raven, "when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat? Benevolence of God upholds the celestial bodies by the word of his power; He "set a tabernacle for the sun,/Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race./His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof." (Ps.19:4-6). Job would have no inkling how God is able to part the light as he parted the Red sea before the Israelites. God scattering the east wind is with reference to the quails to satisfy their lust for meat. Job would neither have knowledge of the leanness to their soul on account of it."But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert. And he gave them their request; But sent leanness into their soul."(Ps.106:14-15)
"Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;" (v.25) Here the Spirit is referring to the Prophet challenging the prophets of Baal. (1 Ki.18:20-40). Significant is the apparent 'anachronism' of Job would have lived in the Patriarchal ages, and not in the age of kings. Here we have the example of Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever"
26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
