Exegesis
The temporal adverbials yomam {יוֹמָם | yō-mām} ‘by day’ and layelah {לָיְלָה | lā-ylā} ‘by night’ bracket the narrative, while the prepositional phrase lifnei ha-am {לִפְנֵי הָעָם | li-phnê hā-ʿām} ‘before the people’ emphasizes the spatial orientation of divine guidance.
In context — Exodus 13:22
The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people .
