Néhémie 9:19

Darby's French Translation

dans tes grandes compassions, tu ne les abandonnas point dans le désert; la colonne de nuée ne se retira point de dessus eux, le jour, pour les conduire dans le chemin, ni la colonne de feu, la nuit, pour les éclairer, et leur montrer le chemin dans lequel ils devaient marcher.

Parallel Translations

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Toi, dans tes grandes miséricordes, tu ne les abandonnas point dans le désert; la colonne de nuée ne cessa point d'être sur eux le jour, pour les conduire par le chemin, ni la colonne de feu, la nuit, pour les éclairer dans le chemin par lequel ils devaient aller.

Louis Segond (1910)
Dans ton immense miséricorde, tu ne les abandonnas pas au désert, et la colonne de nuée ne cessa point de les guider le jour dans leur chemin, ni la colonne de feu de les éclairer la nuit dans le chemin qu'ils avaient à suivre.

La Bible David Martin (1744)
Tu ne les abandonnas pourtant point dans le désert par tes grandes miséricordes; la colonne de nuée ne se retira point de dessus eux de jour, pour les conduire par le chemin, ni la colonne de feu de nuit, pour les éclairer dans le chemin par lequel ils devaient aller.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness,.... Where no supply could be had, if he had cast them off, see Nehemiah 9:17,

the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; which, if it had, they would have been scorched by the heat of the sun:

neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way wherein they should go; or otherwise they would have lost their way, and not have known which way to have gone.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Nehemiah 9:19. The pillar of the cloud departed not from them — מעליהם mealeyhem, "from over them." I have already had occasion to observe that this miraculous cloud, the symbol of the Divine presence, assumed three different positions while accompanying the Israelitish camp:

1. As a cloud in the form of a pillar, it went before them when they journey, to point out their way in the wilderness.

2. As a pillar of fire, it continued with them during the night, to give them light, and be a rallying point for the whole camp in the night season.

3. As an extended cloud, it hovered over them in their encampments, to refresh them with its dews, and to keep them from the ardours of the sun.
