I have always found this absolutely riveting! God's manifestation to the Israelites as they traveled through the desert. What did that look like exactly? What did it feel like? Was it fragrant at all? I cannot even fathom the sound. Unlike anything we have heard since.
The Lord preceded them,
in the daytime
by means of a column of cloud
to show them the way,
and at night
by means of a column of fire
to give them light.
