John Trapp Complete Commentary

Exodus 13:22

He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, [from] before the people.

Ver. 22. He took not away.] This is reckoned, as well it might, for a great mercy, by those holy Levites in Nehemiah 9:19. The Romans' Vibilia was but an imaginary deity; and her help in this kind a mere fancy.
