“In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,”
Eliphaz describes the revelation coming in the midst of troubling thoughts that came in the visions of the night, suggesting an altered state of consciousness in which hidden truths are revealed. The darkness of night and the disturbing nature of the thoughts create an appropriate atmosphere for the reception of cosmic wisdom. This description of the revelation's circumstances lends it an authority beyond human reasoning.
