And the Lord appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of cloud, etc.] As he was wont to do, (see <023309>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 f563, should be “over the tabernacle”, or above where the cloud was wont to be.
