This imagery is consistent with other biblical passages, such as <a href="/psalms/29.htm">Psalm 29</a>, where the voice of the Lord is described as powerful and majestic, breaking cedars and shaking the wilderness. Thunder serves as a metaphor for God's power and majesty, reminding the listener of His sovereignty over creation. In Job, Elihu is emphasizing that God's presence and power are evident in the natural world, and thunder is a manifestation of His divine authority. This aligns with the broader biblical theme that nature itself testifies to the glory of God, as seen in <a href="/romans/1-20.htm">Romans 1:20</a>.<p><b>even the cattle regard the rising storm.</b><br>In the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, people were closely attuned to the behavior of animals, which often served as indicators of impending weather changes. Cattle, with their heightened senses, would react to the approach of a storm, seeking shelter or becoming restless. This observation underscores the idea that all of creation is aware of and responds to God's movements. The mention of cattle also highlights the interconnectedness of creation and humanity's reliance on God's provision and protection. This phrase can be seen as a reminder of God's care for all His creatures, as reflected in passages like <a href="/psalms/104.htm">Psalm 104</a>, which speaks of God's provision for animals. Additionally, it points to the broader biblical theme of God's control over nature, as seen in Jesus calming the storm in <a href="/mark/4-39.htm">Mark 4:39</a>, demonstrating His authority over creation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/elihu.htm">Elihu</a></b><br>A young man who speaks to Job and his friends, offering a perspective on God's justice and power.

We may translate the first clause, "The noise thereof (<span class= "ital">i.e.</span>, the crash of the thunder) declareth concerning Him:" it is His voice, and speaks of Him; but the last clause is almost unintelligible. The words as they stand mean, or may mean, <span class= "ital">cattle even concerning a goer up; </span>but what this means who shall say? Possibly, <span class= "ital">the thunder-crash telleth the cattle even concerning Him who goeth up: i.e.</span>, even the cattle show, by their terror, that the thunder speaketh to them of God, who goeth up on high. (See <a href="/psalms/29-9.htm" title="The voice of the LORD makes the hinds to calve, and discovers the forests: and in his temple does every one speak of his glory.">Psalm 29:9</a>; <a href="/psalms/68-4.htm" title="Sing to God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rides on the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.">Psalm 68:4</a>; <a href="/psalms/68-18.htm" title="You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts for men; yes, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.">Psalm 68:18</a>; <a href="/psalms/47-5.htm" title="God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.">Psalm 47:5</a>.) Some render the last clause, "The cattle also concerning Him as He riseth up;" or, "The cattle also concerning the rising storm." There can be no doubt but that the general meaning is that all nature participateth in the terror caused by the thunder, which is regarded as the audible voice of God; but what the exact expression of this general thought may be it is very hard to say.<p>There should he no break between this chapter and the next.<p><span class= "bld"><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/36.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 33.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The noise thereof showeth concerning it;</span> or, <span class="accented">concerning him.</span> The loud crash proclaims the fierceness of God's anger.
