Whenever God’s presence was particularly intense or concentrated, it often appeared to the Israelites **like fire shrouded in a cloud of thick smoke**. This is seen in various biblical accounts, such as the appearance of God on Mount Sinai and during the Israelites' journey in the wilderness, where God's presence was represented by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
