Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in
the
wilderness
Where no supply could be had, if he had cast them off, see (
Nehemiah
9:17 ) ,
the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to
lead them in
the way;
which, if it had, they would have been scorched by the heat of
the sun:
neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light,
and the way
wherein they should go;
or otherwise they would have lost their way, and not have known
which way to have gone.
