The flash is first seen, the clap is next heard, and last the rain descends; though in fact they all take place at the same time. The lightning traverses all space in no perceivable succession of time. Sound is propagated at the rate of 1,142 feet in a second. Rain travels still more slowly, and will be seen sooner or later according to the weight of the drops, and the distance of the cloud. Now as water is composed of two elastic airs or gases, called oxygen and hydrogen, in the proportion of 88+ of the former and 11, 3/4 of the latter in 100 parts, the electric spark, or matter of lightning, passing through the atmosphere, ignites and decomposes those gases, which explode; and the water falls down in the form of rain. This explosion, as well as the rushing in of the circumambient air to restore the equilibrium, will account for the clap and peal; and thus by the lightning of thunder God causes it to rain on the earth. on the wilderness Ps 104:10-14, Ps 107:35, Ps 147:8-9; Isa 35:1-2, Isa 41:18-19, Isa 43:19-20; Jer 14:22; Heb 6:7-8 Hath the Job 38:8, Job 5:9-10; 1Sam 12:17-18; Ps 65:9-10; Jer 5:24, Jer 10:13, Jer 14:22; Joel 2:23; Amos 4:7; Matt 5:45 dew Job 29:19; Gen 27:28, Gen 27:39; Deut 33:13, Deut 33:28; 2Sam 1:21; 1Kgs 17:1; Prov 3:20; Hos 14:5 Job 38:8, Job 6:16, Job 37:10; Ps 147:16-17 the face Job 37:10 frozen Heb. taken Pleiades or, the seven stars, Heb.
