"This verse should be connected with the preceding, and rendered, ""The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose; going toward the south, and turning about unto the north. The wind whirleth about continually,"" etc. Alluding, in the former part, to the apparent daily motion of the sun from east to west, and to his annual course through the signs of the zodiac. Job 37:9,17; Psa 107:25,29; Jon 1:4; Mat 7:24,27; Jhn 3:8; Act 27:13-15" |
