Exegesis
The construct kevod YHWH {כְּבוֹד יְהוָה | kəvōḏ Yə-hō-wāh} ‘the glory of the LORD’ functions as the subject of nirʾah {נִרְאָה | nirʾāh}, emphasizing the visible manifestation, while beʿānān {בֶּעָנָן | beʿānān} ‘in cloud’ situates this revelation within the cloud motif that both reveals and veils the divine.
