Talmud for Exodus 19:9
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֗ה הִנֵּ֨ה אָנֹכִ֜י בָּ֣א אֵלֶיךָ֮ בְּעַ֣ב הֶֽעָנָן֒ בַּעֲב֞וּר יִשְׁמַ֤ע הָעָם֙ בְּדַבְּרִ֣י עִמָּ֔ךְ וְגַם־בְּךָ֖ יַאֲמִ֣ינוּ לְעוֹלָ֑ם וַיַּגֵּ֥ד מֹשֶׁ֛ה אֶת־דִּבְרֵ֥י הָעָ֖ם אֶל־יְהוָֽה׃
And the LORD said unto Moses: ‘Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and may also believe thee for ever.’ And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
31Gen. rabba13(11). It is called by five names: fog, canopy, cloud, prince, and storm-cloud. From where “fog”? And fog rose from the earth32Gen. 2:6.. “Thick cloud,” [which thickens the sky]33Corrector’s addition from Gen. rabba., behold, I shall come to you in a canopy of cloud34Ex. 19:9.. “Cloud”, because it makes people meek with one another. “Prince” because it turns owners of houses into princes: He raises rain-clouds from the ends of the earth35Ps. 135:7.. “Storm-clouds” because it turns the sky into multiple visions36Deriving the unexplained word as pilpel form of חזה “to have a vision”.: The Eternal makes storm clouds37Sach. 10:1..
