Pensée juive sur Les Nombres 9:15

וּבְיוֹם֙ הָקִ֣ים אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּ֔ן כִּסָּ֤ה הֶֽעָנָן֙ אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּ֔ן לְאֹ֖הֶל הָעֵדֻ֑ת וּבָעֶ֜רֶב יִהְיֶ֧ה עַֽל־הַמִּשְׁכָּ֛ן כְּמַרְאֵה־אֵ֖שׁ עַד־בֹּֽקֶר׃

Or, le jour où l’on eut érigé le tabernacle, la nuée couvrit le tabernacle, la tente du statut; et le soir il y avait, au-dessus du tabernacle, comme un météore de feu persistant jusqu’au matin.

Torat HaOlah

The sages have already said about this verse, "The Temple, Lord, which your hands established" (Shemot 15:17), that it teaches that the Temple on earth corresponds with a supernal Temple. We say in the first chapter of Ta'anit (5a): "Is there such a thing as a supernal Jerusalem? Yes, as it is written (Tehilim 122:2-3), 'Jerusalem built up, like a city joined together'." And we say too in Masekhet Hagiga (12b), "As Micha'el is the High Priest above, standing and sacrificing the souls of the righteous on a supernal altar." And so we say in the midrash, in Vayiqra Rabah, responding to the verse "And on the day that the Sanctuary was established" (Numbers 9:15): "R. Siman said, This teaches that another Sanctuary was established together with it."
