And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a (g) cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
(g) In a cloud that was fashioned like a pillar.

And the Lord appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of cloud,.... As he was wont to do, see Exodus 33:9; in which cloud there was a lustre, a brightness, a glory visible, which showed that he was there:
and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle; it seems to have appeared first in the tabernacle, and then it came out of it, and stood over the door of it, near to which Moses and Joshua were: the Targum of Jonathan adds,"Moses and Joshua stood without;''
though the former clause, according to Noldius (b), should be "over the tabernacle", or above where the cloud was wont to be.
(b) Concord. Ebr. Part. p. 164. No. 737.
