And the cloud of the Lord [was] upon them by day, etc.] Not only upon the tabernacle, and upon the ark particularly, but it spread itself in journeying over the whole body of the people, and therefore said to be a covering to them from the heat of the sun, (<19A539>Psalm 105:39); as well as it was a guide unto them, and a token of the divine Presence with them, (see <230405> Isaiah 4:5); when they went out of the camp; or out of the place of their encampment, when they removed from Sinai; and appears from, hence that it was in the daytime.
