2 ‎[1] INTO THE HOLY PLACE. In contrast to the tent of meeting.
‎[2] FOR I APPEAR IN THE CLOUD. It means Aaron shall only enter with incense. He shall produce smoke so that God’s glory will not be seen, and as a result he dies. Note, the meaning of *ki be-anan era’eh* (for I appear in the cloud upon the ark-cover) is, I will not appear to him except through the agency of a cloud. There are those who say that the meaning of *ki be-anan era’eh al ha-kapporet* (for I appear in the cloud) is, because I dwell in a cloud upon the ark-covering. *For I appear in the cloud* is similar in meaning to *The Lord hath said that He would dwell in the thick darkness* (I Kings 8:12).
