Exodus 14:20 “And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel and it was a cloud and darkness to them but it gave light by night to those. So that the one came not near the other all the night.” Many of us as children have watched these phony
Genesis 50:20 “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.” In Ta’anit 21a of the Talmud there is the story of a sage named Nachum. I could not tell from translating if his hands

Exodus 40:35: “And Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting, for the cloud rested (shakhan) upon it , and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.” Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting because of the Shekhinah glory.

Proverbs 26:4 “Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.” Practically every modern translation will render the Hebrew word kasal as fool.
