Numbers 9:16 (King James Version)
So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
- 18-22 ; Exodus 13:21 Exodus 13:22 ; 40:38 Deuteronomy 1:33 ; Nehemiah 9:12 Nehemiah 9:19 ; Psalms 78:14 ; 105:39
- Isaiah 4:5 Isaiah 4:6 ; 1 Corinthians 10:1 ; 2 Corinthians 5:19 ; Revelation 21:3
- This cloud not only enlightened the Israelites, but also protected them, and was a continual pledge of God's presence and protection. To this manifestation of the Divine glory, the prophet Isaiah alludes, when he says, ( Isaiah 4:5, ,)"The Lord will create upon every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night." God is the director, protector, and glory of his church.
