When Yahweh creates a cloud by day and smoke, and the shining of fire flaming by night (Isaiah 4:5), He reestablishes His kabod , glory.

According to the NASB, the glory is a defense, but the word translated as defense is used only two other times in the OT. In Psalm 19, it’s the chamber from which the bridegroom sun races every morning, and in Joel 2:16, it’s a bridal chamber.

What is Yahweh’s glory? It’s the bridal chamber, the trysting place for Israel and her Husband.
