Then Solomon said,“The Lord has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.

So the people stood at a [safe] distance, but Moses approached the thick cloud where God was.

Then Solomon said,“The Lord has said that He would dwell in the thick darkness [of the cloud].

For you have not come [as did the Israelites in the wilderness] to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to gloom and darkness and a raging windstorm,

Then Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

The Lord said to Moses,

“Tell Aaron your brother that he must not enter at any time into the Holy Place inside the veil (the Holy of Holies), before the mercy seat which is on the ark, or he will die, for I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat.

You approached and stood at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire to the [very] heart of the heavens: darkness, cloud and thick gloom.


Smoke went up from His nostrils,
And fire from His mouth devoured;
Coals were kindled by it.


Clouds and thick darkness surround Him [as at Sinai];
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.


The Lord is slow to anger and great in power
And He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.
The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust beneath His feet.
