God's Voice in the Storm
Commentators explain that the "voice" of God in this verse refers to thunder. This is a declaration of God's active and immediate command over nature. When God speaks, the heavens respond with a "tumult of waters" (rain), lightning flashes, and winds are released. This imagery serves to contrast the living, powerful God with silent, powerless idols.
