Contextual Overview

⁹ [Like as] the children of Ephraim, which beyng harnessed & carying bowes: turned their backes in the day of battayle. ¹⁰ They kept not the couenaunt of God: and they woulde not walke in his law. ¹¹ But they forgat his workes: and his wonders which he had shewed them. ¹² Marueylous thinges dyd he in the sight of their fathers: in the land of Egypt, in the fielde of Zoan. ¹³ He deuided the sea and let them go thorowe: he made the waters to stande as on an heape. ¹⁴ In the day time also he led them with a cloude: and all the night through with a light of fire. ¹⁵ He cloued the harde rockes in the wildernes: & gaue them drinke therof, as it had ben out of the great deepe waters. ¹⁶ He brought running streames out of a stonie rocke: and caused waters to gushe downe, like as out of riuers. ¹⁷ Yet for all this they sinned still against hym: so that they prouoked the most hyghest in the wildernesse. ¹⁸ And they temped god in their heartes: in requiring meate for their lust.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

In the daytime also he led them with a cloud,.... Which was in the form of a pillar, and went before them, and the Lord in it, and directed their way, and protected them from heat; see Exodus 13:21 Nehemiah 9:12 this was typical of Christ, who is a shadow and security from the heat of a fiery law, the flaming sword of justice, the wrath of God, which is poured forth like fire, the fiery darts of Satan, and from hurt by any enemy whatever; see Isaiah 4:5, and who leads his people through the wilderness of this world by his Spirit, by his word, and by his own example; and who is the best and safest guide to follow:

and all the night with a light of fire; which also was in the form of a pillar, and went before them, and gave light in the night, and the Lord was in it; and this also was typical of Christ, who is the light of his people amidst all their darkness in this world.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In the day-time also he led them with a cloud - That is, the cloud was the visible symbol of his presence, and its movements determined the way in which they were to go. It was “God” who led them, and who adopted this manner of doing it, so that they had “always” with them, by day and by night, a “visible” proof of his presence. There was that with them which could not be ascribed to any natural causes, and which, therefore, “demonstrated” that God was with them, and that as long as they followed the cloud and the pillar of fire they could not err. See Exodus 13:21; Exodus 14:24. They had the less excuse, therefore, for rebelling against him.

And all the night with a light of fire - A column - a pillar - which stood over the camp, and which was a symbol of the divine presence and guidance. The cloud would not be visible by night, nor would the fire be a good guide by day; and hence, the form of the symbol was changed. The same thing, however, was intended by both, and together they were standing proofs of the presence of God.
