“At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.”
The affirmation that He made darkness His covering and pavilion and thick clouds His dwelling place establishes God surrounded by the most awesome and impenetrable darkness. The pavilion imagery suggests God's tent or fortress amid clouds. The thick clouds suggest divine hiddenness and the obscurity surrounding divine action. This verse emphasizes divine transcendence and the inscrutability of divine action.
