“When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,”
Job 38:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 38:9
"When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it." The poetic imagery presents creation wrapped in clouds and darkness like an infant in swaddling clothes. The Hebrew lebusho (לְבֻשׁוֹ, "garment") and chatullato (חֲתֻלָּתוֹ, "swaddling") suggest tender care alongside sovereign power. God portrays Himself as caring for primordial creation, clothing the earth before dry land appeared. This combines majesty (clouds and darkness) with intimacy (swaddling), revealing God as both transcendent Creator and immanent Provider who nurtures what He makes.
