Keluaran 26:14

26:14 “You are to make a covering ¹  for the tent out of ram skins dyed red and over that a covering of fine leather. ² 

Yesaya 4:5

4:5 Then the Lord will create

over all of Mount Zion ³ 

and over its convocations

a cloud and smoke by day

and a bright flame of fire by night; ⁴ 

indeed a canopy will accompany the Lord’s glorious presence. ⁵ 

[26:14]  ¹ sn Two outer coverings made of stronger materials will be put over the tent and the curtain, the two inner layers.

[26:14]  ² tn See the note on this phrase in Exod 25:5.

[4:5]  ³ tn Heb “over all the place, Mount Zion.” Cf. NLT “Jerusalem”; CEV “the whole city.”

[4:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “a cloud by day, and smoke, and brightness of fire, a flame by night.” Though the accents in the Hebrew text suggest otherwise, it might be preferable to take “smoke” with what follows, since one would expect smoke to accompany fire.

[4:5]  sn The imagery of the cloud by day and fire by night recalls the days of Moses, when a cloud and fire were tangible reminders that the Lord was guiding and protecting his people (Exod 13:21-22; 14:19, 24). In the future age envisioned in Isa 4, the Lord’s protective presence will be a reality.

[4:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “indeed (or “for”) over all the glory, a canopy.” This may allude to Exod 40:34-35, where a cloud overshadows the meeting tent as it is filled with God’s glory.
