First we
are told that when Klal Yisrael traveled they followed the Anan the heavenly
cloud that led them in the Midbar. As a matter of fact the Posuk says that
those clouds never disappeared and they were always there. This is brought in
13:22 (לֹא-יָמִישׁ עַמּוּד
הֶעָנָן, יוֹמָם, וְעַמּוּד הָאֵשׁ, לָיְלָה--לִפְנֵי, הָעָם). It always led Klal Yisrael wherever they went. The Posuk in
14:2 says (דַּבֵּר, אֶל-בְּנֵי
יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְיָשֻׁבוּ וְיַחֲנוּ לִפְנֵי פִּי הַחִירֹת, בֵּין מִגְדֹּל וּבֵין
הַיָּם: לִפְנֵי בַּעַל צְפֹן, נִכְחוֹ תַחֲנוּ עַל-הַיָּם). Hashem gives Moshe directions to tell Klal Yisrael to travel
to this place and that place and then go there and there to rest. Why give
directions? What is the reason? They were following the Anan! Ribbono Shel
Olam, just let the Anan go and don’t give me directions.
Imagine that you are a passenger in the back of
a car and the driver is driving and he starts giving you directions as to where
you are going. He is driving, why is he giving you directions? It makes no
sense. Why is the Ribbono Shel Olam giving directions. The Anan is driving.
Tzorech Iyun!
