Note for V. 14

v. 14 – As a common noun, the article in בֶּעָנָ֣ן indicates the class reference "the cloud >> clouds," and can thus be rendered as generic and indefinite in English (see Bekins forthcoming).

v. 14 – Since הַ֝לַּ֗יְלָה is definite, the quantifier כָל informs the totality of the duration of the night, rather than distributive every night, just as we would expect in parallel with יוֹמָ֑ם (cf. the CEB's "all through the night").^[1]

Note for V. 14

v. 14 – The construct chain א֣וֹר אֵֽשׁ communicates entity-source, i.e., the light produced by fire.
