and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud; which went before them; there was a more than common brightness in it, an effulgence and beam of light and glory shining in it. Christ, the brightness of his Father's glory, and the express image of his person, appeared in it, in some visible displays of his majesty, which made it very observable to them.

Appeared in the cloud - Or, “was seen in a cloud.” The definite article would imply that the cloud was the same which is often mentioned in connection with the tabernacle. The people saw the cloud here spoken of beyond the camp.

10. that they looked, &c.] Cf. the very similar passage, Num_16:42. The ‘wilderness’ is however remarkable: as Di. remarks, they were in the wilderness (vv. 1, 2, 3), so that some more definite direction would be expected: originally, as he suggests, probably ‘toward the sanctuary,’ or ‘the tent of meeting’ (as Nu. l.c.), stood here (so Bä., McNeile).
the glory of Jehovah, &c.] A brilliant glow of fire (cf. on Exo_13:21 f.), symbolizing Jehovah’s presence, gleamed through the cloud, resting (if the conjecture in the last note be accepted) upon the Tent of Meeting. The cloud shrouds the full brilliancy of the glory, which human eye could not behold. The ‘glory of Jehovah’ is often mentioned in P in the same sense: Exo_24:16 f.; and in connexion with the Tent of Meeting, Exo_29:43, Exo_40:34-35 (cf. 1Ki_8:11, Eze_43:4-5); and especially Lev_9:6; Lev_9:23, Num_14:10; Num_16:19; Num_16:42; Num_20:6.

(10) The glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.—The Hebrew, as at present pointed, has “in a cloud,” but there can be no reasonable doubt that the “pillar of the cloud” is meant. It was before this that they had been required to appear (Exo_16:9), and from this almost certainly that some bright radiance was now made to stream forth. The object was at once to rebuke their murmurings, and to uphold the authority of Moses and Aaron.
