子どもにもわかる説明
Imagine you have a special tent in your backyard where you can play and talk to your friend. One day, when you set up the tent, a big, fluffy cloud appears and covers the tent during the day, and at night, there's a warm, cozy fire inside. This is like how God showed the Israelites that He was with them all the time.

This verse is from the Book of Numbers, which was written by Moses around 1400 BCE. It was meant for the Israelites as they wandered in the wilderness after leaving Egypt. The tabernacle was a mobile sanctuary where God's presence dwelled among them.
