Theological / Devotional

Dark waters. Literally, “darkness of waters.” Black clouds presaging a heavy rainfall.

Thick clouds of the skies. The phrase might be paraphrased “clouds of clouds,” as if to suggest different kinds of clouds rolled together, inrolling and piled on one another— all constituting the pavilion of God.
