# the pillar of cloud
The cloud had the shape of a pillar. See how you translated this in [Exodus 13:22](../13/22.md). Alternate translation: "the cloud shaped like a pillar" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# would come down
Where it came down from can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: "would come down from the sky" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
