Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(sound). Rare in Palestine, hence regarded as God’s displeasure (1 Sam. 12:17); Jehovah’s voice (Job 37:2; Psa. 18:13; Isa. 30:30-31; John 12:29); symbol of divine power (Ex. 19:16; 1 Sam. 2:10; 2 Sam. 22:14; Isa. 29:6; Rev. 8:5).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
This is of rare occurrence in Palestine, and is regarded in scripture as being the voice of God in power, both in the Old Testament of the past and in the Revelation of the future (Psa. 29; Psa. 77:18; Psa. 104:7; Rev. 4:5; Rev. 6:1; compare also John 12:29). In Psalm 78:48, in recounting the plagues of Egypt, the flocks are represented as being consumed by HOT THUNDERBOLTS. The word is resheph, and is also translated “coals,” “burning coals,” “burning heat.” Doubtless lightning is referred to, as when the “fire of God” fell from heaven and burnt up Job’s sheep (Job 1:16).
