King James Bible
"He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet."
This vivid imagery depicts God descending from heaven to intervene in earthly affairs, with the heavens bending or parting to make way for His presence. The language echoes ancient Near Eastern storm theophanies where deities manifested in dramatic atmospheric phenomena, emphasizing God's sovereign power over creation. The darkness beneath God's feet likely represents storm clouds or the mysterious, awesome nature of divine presence. This imagery positions God as supremely above all earthly and cosmic forces, treading upon the very elements that typically inspire fear in humanity.
