Nehemiah 9:12

Moreover, thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar,
&c.] The Israelites, to shelter them from the heat of the sun in a dry and barren wilderness:

and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way
wherein they should go;
through a trackless desert, see ( Exodus 13:21 Exodus 13:22 ) .
