This infinitive absolute form appears only in Job 26:9, though its textual status is disputed. The phrase reads literally 'spreading upon it his cloud,' referring to God obscuring the face of the full moon by spreading clouds over it. The form is unusual (Piel infinitive absolute), leading some scholars to propose emending to a participle. However, the infinitive absolute can function as a finite verb or verbal noun in Hebrew poetry. The image depicts God's sovereign control over celestial phenomena—He veils even the moon's brightness at will by deploying His clouds. This fits Job 26's broader theme of God's incomprehensible power over creation.
