Job 26:9

He holdeth back. That is, He covereth up His throne with clouds. The significance of this statement may be that God conceals Himself from man’s physical senses. God sees fit to maintain His communion with man on a spiritual rather than on a sensuous level. Although clouds may hide His throne from sight (see 1 Kings 8:12; Ps. 18:11; 97:2), His throne exists, and will be eventually seen by the redeemed (Rev. 22:1-4).

The translation “moon” instead of “throne” (see RSV) requires a change in the pointing of the Hebrew word kisseh to make it read keseh. Vowel pointings were not introduced until about the 7th century A.D., and hence were not employed in the original documents. But as a rule the traditional spelling is accepted unless the context grammatically or otherwise clearly indicates a change. Here the context seems to be against such an alteration.
