26:8He locks the waters in his clouds,
and the clouds do not burst with the weight of them.
26:9He conceals17 the face of the full moon,18
shrouding it with his clouds.
Footnotes
- 17 The verb means “to hold; to seize,” here in the sense of shutting up, enshrouding, or concealing.
- 18 The has כִסֵּה (khisseh), which is a problematic vocalization. Most certainly כֵּסֶה (keseh), alternative for כֶּסֶא (kese’, “full moon”) is intended here. The is close to the form of “throne,” which would be כִּסֵּא (kisse’, cf. “he shrouds his throne with his clouds”). But here God is covering the face of the moon by hiding it behind clouds.
