Charles Ellicott Commentary Daniel 2:22

"he revealeth the deep and secret things; he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him." — Daniel 2:22 (ASV)

He reveals.— Compare to Job 12:22.

He knows.— Compare to Psalm 139:12.

The light dwells.— Perhaps “illumination” rather than “light” expresses the actual meaning. Man himself requires illumination from an external source. This source is God, the “sun of man’s soul,” in Whom light dwells as if He were a palace, and in His light do we see light (Psalms 36:9).
