1 Coríntios 10

Utley has an interesting note - YHWH was with His people during this period of judgment in such intimate and caring ways that the rabbis began to call this the “honeymoon” period between YHWH and Israel. Zodhiates says were all under the cloud - The verb "were" in the phrase "our fathers were all under the visible cloud" is ḗsan, the imperfect of eimí (1510), to be. This indicates that the children of Israel were under (hupo) the general divine providence of God consequent to their leaving Egypt and during their entire journey. In Psalm 105:39+ we see God "spread a cloud for a covering (masak - screen - used most often for a covering of tabernacle doors; Lxx = speke = a covering, shelter, protection) and fire to illumine by night." The purpose of the covering was to provide shade to Israel from the sun's intense rays, thus providing protection. John
