2 ā[1] ×× ××¢× × ××Ø×× ×¢× ××פ××Ø×Ŗ. According to the plain meaning of the text, we are told that Gād would become manifest by means of the cloud which hovers over the spot where the lid of the Holy Ark is situated within the Tabernacle. Compare Exodus 25,22 where Gād told Moses: āI will speak with you from above the ×פ××Ø×Ŗ from the area between the two cherubs.ā If the priest would see this area with his own eyes he would die. Therefore, when he would enter the Tabernacle (Holy of Holies) on the Day of Atonement to burn the incense and sprinkle the blood of the bull and ram of the sin offering on the dividing curtain, the cloud would first wrap the entire Tabernacle into darkness so that he would not be able to see what he was not allowed to see.
