“When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:”
When he made a decree for the rain and a way for the thunderbolt, depicting divine establishment of natural law—the patterns by which rain falls and lightning moves. The decree for the rain suggests that divine wisdom established the conditions under which rain occurs, that precipitation follows divine ordinance rather than randomness. The way for the thunderbolt suggests that divine wisdom established the path lightning follows, imposing order on what appears destructive and chaotic. The verse emphasizes that divine wisdom establishes the natural laws by which creation functions.
