Commento su Naum 1:3
יְהֹוָ֗ה אֶ֤רֶךְ אַפַּ֙יִם֙ וגדול־[וּגְדָל־] כֹּ֔חַ וְנַקֵּ֖ה לֹ֣א יְנַקֶּ֑ה יְהוָ֗ה בְּסוּפָ֤ה וּבִשְׂעָרָה֙ דַּרְכּ֔וֹ וְעָנָ֖ן אֲבַ֥ק רַגְלָֽיו׃
L'Eterno è longanime e ha un grande potere e non cancella affatto i colpevoli; L'Eterno, nel turbine e nella tempesta, è la sua via, e le nuvole sono la polvere dei suoi piedi.
Rashi on Nahum
The Lord is slow to anger and great in power—He is great in power, and He has the ability to wreak vengeance. The reason He did not hasten His revenge is that He is slow to anger, but, in any case, He will not acquit.

Rashi on Nahum
the Lord - His way is with a tempest and with a storm—They [the tempest and storm] are His messengers for wreaking retribution upon His enemies, as it is stated concerning Egypt (Exod. 14:21): “with a mighty east wind”; and concerning the generation of the Flood (Job 4:9): “From the breath of God they perish.” Concerning Tyre, it is stated (Ezek. 27:26): “The east wind has broken you.”

and cloud is the dust of His feet—That, too, is the way of His vengeance. (Exod. 14:24) “And the Lord looked over the camp of the Egyptians with a pillar of fire and cloud”; also, (Ezek. 30:18) “As for her, a cloud shall cover her.”
