SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:21

Y el SEŅOR iba delante de ellos de día en una columna de nube, para guiarlos por el camino; y de noche en una columna de fuego para alumbrarles; a fin de que anduviesen de día y de noche.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 13:21

Verse 21. The
Lord went before them] That by the LORD here is meant the Lord Jesus, we have the authority of St. Paul to believe, 1 Cor. x. i10: it was he whose Spirit they tempted in the wilderness, for it was he who led them through the desert to the promised rest.

Pillar of a cloud] This pillar or column, which appeared as a cloud by day, and a fire by night, was the symbol of the Divine presence. This was the Shechinah or Divine dwelling place, and was the continual proof of the presence and protection of GOD. It was necessary that they should have a guide to direct them through the wilderness, even had they taken the most direct road; and how much more so when they took a circuitous route not usually traveled, and of which they knew nothing but just as the luminous pillar pointed out the way! Besides, it is very likely that even Moses himself did not know the route which God had determined on, nor the places of encampment, till the pillar that went before them became stationary, and thus pointed out, not only the road, but the different places of rest. Whether there was more than one pillar is not clearly determined by the text. If there was but one it certainly assumed three different appearances, for the performance of THREE very important offices. 1. In the day-time, for the purpose of pointing out the way, a column or pillar of a cloud was all that was requisite. 2. At night, to prevent that confusion which must otherwise have taken place, the pillar of cloud became a pillar of fire, not to direct their journeyings, for they seldom traveled by night, but to give light to every part of the Israelitish camp. 3. In such a scorching, barren, thirsty desert, something farther was necessary than a light and a guide. Women, children, and comparatively infirm persons, exposed to the rays of such a burning sun, must have been destroyed if without a covering; hence we find that a cloud overshadowed them: and from what St. Paul observes, 1 Cor. x. 1, 2, we are led to conclude that this covering cloud was composed of aqueous particles for the cooling of the atmosphere and refreshment of themselves and their cattle; for he represents the whole camp as being sprinkled or immersed in the humidity of its vapours, and expressly calls it a being under the cloud and being baptized in the cloud. To the circumstance of the cloud covering them, there are several references in Scripture. Thus: He spread a CLOUD for their COVERING; Psa. cv. 39. And 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; for upon all the glory shall be a DEFENCE, (or COVERING,) Isa. iv. 5; which words contain the most manifest allusion to the threefold office of the cloud in the wilderness. See Num. ix. 16-18, &c.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 21, 22 - The Lord went before them in a pillar, or appearance of the Divin Majesty. Christ was with the church in the wilderness, 1Co 10:9. Thos whom God brings into a wilderness, he will not leave nor lose there but will take care to lead them through it. It was great satisfactio to Moses and the pious Israelites, to be sure that they were unde Divine guidance. Those who make the glory of God their end, and the word of God their rule, the Spirit of God the guide of their affections, and the providence of God the guide of their affairs, ma be sure that the Lord goes before them, though they cannot see it with their eyes: we must now live by faith. When Israel marched, this pilla went before, and pointed out the place of encampment, as Divine Wisdo saw fit. It sheltered by day from the heat, and gave light by night The Bible is a light to our feet, a lantern to our paths, with whic the Saviour's love has provided us. It testifies of Christ. It is to u like the pillar to the Israelites. Listen to that voice which cries, am the Light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of life, Joh 8:12. Jesus Chris alone, as shown in the Bible, and as the Holy Spirit, in answer to prayer, recommends him to the soul, is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Joh 14:6 __________________________________________________________________
