“Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,”
Job 38:19 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 38:19
"Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof?" God asks about light and darkness's origin and habitation. Ancient thought often personified these as substances with dwelling places. The question probes reality's fundamental nature—sources of light and darkness. Job cannot answer, highlighting God's unique knowledge of creation's deepest structures. Theologically, this anticipates John 1's revelation that God is light (1 John 1:5) and Christ is the light of the world (John 8:12). Ultimate light originates in God Himself.
