Eliphaz describes a spirit passing before him and his flesh trembling at the touch, using the language of sensory encounter to describe the presence of a supernatural being. The ghostly passing and the trembling flesh create an image of a being of pure spirit that manifests its presence through disturbing the physical world. This description of the spirit's passage suggests a reality beyond ordinary perception yet capable of affecting the body.
